Abstract
A system and method of optimizing fuel economy for an automobile is provided. Driver torque request input data is received and is accumulated over a period of time to generate accumulated torque request data. Torque data is extracted from the accumulated torque request data. The torque data is processed to generate driver habit data from the torque data. The driver habit data is stored and used to optimize fuel economy.
Claims24
A method of optimizing fuel economy for an automobile comprising the steps of:
- receiving driver torque request input data;
- accumulating the driver torque request input data to generate accumulated torque request data;
- extracting torque data from the accumulated torque request data;
- processing the torque data to generate driver habit data from the torque data;
- and
- storing the driver habit data.
A system for optimizing fuel economy of an automobile comprising a computer readable medium having stored thereon computer readable program code, the computer readable program code further comprising:
- computer readable program code that receives driver torque request input data;
- computer readable program code that accumulates the driver torque request input data to generate accumulated torque request data;
- computer readable program code that extracts torque data from the accumulated torque request data;
- and
- computer readable program code that processes the torque data to generate driver habit data from the torque data.
A program for optimizing fuel economy of an automobile comprising:
- computer readable program code that receives driver torque request input data;
- computer readable program code that accumulates the driver torque request input data to generate accumulated torque request data;
- computer readable program code that extracts torque data from the accumulated torque request data;
- computer readable program code that processes the torque data to generate driver habit data from the torque data;
- and
- computer readable program code that stores the driver habit data.
