INTELLIGENT MOTOR VEHICLES, SYSTEMS AND CONTROL LOGIC FOR REAL-TIME ROUTE GUIDANCE AND ADAPTIVE DRIVE CONTROL

摘要

Intelligent vehicle systems and control logic for predictive route planning and adaptive control, methods for manufacturing / operating such systems and motor vehicles with real-time eco-routing and automated driving capabilities are presented. One method of controlling the operation of a vehicle includes determining vehicle origin and destination information and identifying candidate routes to travel from the origin to the destination. Road level data, including speed and topology data, is received for each candidate route. Total energy consumption is estimated to drive the vehicle from the origin to the destination via each of the candidate routes. This estimation includes the evaluation of the respective street level data of each candidate route against a memory-stored table which correlates the energy consumption with the speed, the cornering angle and / or the inclination. A resident vehicle controller instructs a resident vehicle subsystem to perform a control operation based on one or more of the estimated total energy consumption that corresponds to one or more candidate routes.
