摘要:
A portable communication terminal includes a current location/destination information acquirer that acquires current location information and destination information of a vehicle, a power source level information acquirer that acquires, from the vehicle, power source level information representing a remaining level of a power source, and a first transmitter that transmits the current location information, the destination information, and the power source level information to a server. A server includes a first receiver that receives, from the first transmitter, the current location information, the destination information, and the power source level information, an accumulator that accumulates past driving history information using the vehicle and a plurality of replenishment enable points representing positions where the power source of the vehicle can be replenished, a selector that selects, based on the current location information, the destination information, and the power source level information, which are received, and the accumulated driving history information, a replenishment point representing a position where the power source of the vehicle should be replenished from the plurality of replenishment enable points, and a second transmitter that transmits information about the selected replenishment point to the portable communication terminal.

Vehicle operation ( e.g ., speed, acceleration) may be limited based on various conditions such as a current charge condition of an electrical energy storage devices ( e.g ., batteries, super- or ultracapacitors), history of such, conditions related to the vehicle ( e.g ., mileage, weight, size, drag coefficient), a driver or operator of the vehicle ( e.g ., history with respect to speed, acceleration, mileage) and/or environmental conditions ( e.g ., ambient temperature, terrain). A controller may control operation of one or more power converters to limit current and/or voltage supplied to a traction electric motor, accordingly.

摘要:
A system for updating a charge station database including information about charge station location and/or characteristic by determining and verifying charge station location and characteristics after a vehicle connects to a charging station. The vehicle determines (probes) the charge station location based upon the location of the vehicle while connected to the charging station. This location information is transmitted by the vehicle to a central database.

In general, a control device for a railway vehicle controls an inverter device 4 based on a direct-current link voltage Vfc between the opposite terminals of a filter capacitor 3. In a circuit configuration according to the present invention, a direct-current voltage applied to the inverter device 4 during regeneration is the sum of a voltage Vb of power storage equipment 6 and an overhead wire voltage Vs as described later, so that only detecting the direct-current link voltage Vfc is not enough to separate the voltage Vb of the power storage equipment 6 and the overhead wire voltage Vs from each other, and it cannot be determined whether the current state is the state of light load regeneration or not. In the circuit configuration in which the power storage equipment can be connected in series with the inverter device 4, a voltage sensor that detects the overhead wire voltage Vs is provided between a current collector device 1 and a grounding point, and the power storage equipment is controlled based on the detection result from the voltage sensor.

A power frequency distribution predicting unit predicts the power frequency distribution of a vehicle in a case where the vehicle travels a route with reference to the history of the vehicle power Pv when the vehicle traveled the route in the past. An operation condition setting unit sets the range of the required vehicle power Pv0 to operate the engine as an engine operation condition for controlling the energy balance between generated power and generated electric power of an electric rotating machine in a case where the vehicle travels the route to be at a preset value according to the power frequency distribution predicted by the power frequency distribution predicting unit. An operation control unit controls the operation of the engine according to the range of the required vehicle power Pv0 to operate the engine set by the operation condition setting unit.
