摘要:
A stop-off facility guidance system includes a time required for maintenance calculating processing device for calculating a time required for maintenance, a total time calculating processing device for calculating a total time a driver takes to visit stop-off facilities on foot and to get back to the facility at which the maintenance is undergone on foot, and a stop-off facility notification processing device for comparing the total time with the time required for the maintenance and for notifying the driver of stop-off facilities which can be visited on foot. Therefore, it is possible for the driver to predict when he/she should get back to the predetermined facility after visiting the stop-off facilities. Further, it is possible for the driver to easily determine whether the stop-off facilities should be visited before the maintenance is terminated or after the maintenance has been terminated.

The present invention relates to the integration of an on-board navigation system to provide energy management for an electric vehicle (EV)or a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). A vehicle system controller 46 integrates the navigation system information with energy management while en route to a known destination. Present vehicle location is continuously monitored, expectations of driver demand are determined, and the system accommodates or takes into account the data relating to the current location and other operating parameters of the vehicle to manage the energy usage of the vehicle. The system can be configured to include as part of its present vehicle location data on road patterns, geography with date and time, altitude changes, speed limits, driving patterns of a vehicle driver, and weather.

摘要:
A navigation system of a hybrid car retrieves a route to detect whether any restricted area forbidden for automobiles that emit exhaust gases is on the route or not. Before the hybrid car arrives at the restricted area, an electric motor is driven by a gasoline engine portion to charge a battery portion. After the hybrid car arrives at the restricted area, only the electric motor is operated by electric power of the battery portion so that the hybrid car can pass through the restricted area. As a result, the hybrid car can arrive at a destination by the shortest distance without bypassing the restricted area, and the environment of the restricted area can be protected because the gasoline engine portion is not operated in the restricted area.

In an information display system (1) for a vehicle, an information receiving section (2, 3, 6) receives positional information indicative of a present vehicle position and destination information indicative of a destination of the vehicle to derive a recommended route. A travel distance calculating section (4) calculates a travelable distance on the basis of the obtained information. An editing section (5) sets a travelable area of the vehicle according to the positional information, the travelable distance, and guidance information, and edits route information including a recommended route within the travelable area. An outputting section (9) displays the route information.
摘要:
An apparatus (141) for controlling auxiliary equipment driven by an internal combustion engine (111), which can suppress the deterioration of a specific fuel consumption by controlling the auxiliary equipment based on running environment information provided from a car navigation system or the like. Namely, this apparatus (141) predicts the future maximum output of the internal combustion engine (111) and a running load thereof according to running environment information and vehicle information. Further, if the maximum output is larger than the running load, the auxiliary equipment (for example, a light and an air conditioner) are directly driven by the internal combustion engine. Moreover, surplus energy is stored in an energy storing device (134). When the maximum output is nearly equal to the running load and that the specific fuel consumption is deteriorated when driving the auxiliary equipments, they are driven by using the energy stored in the energy storing means (134). Consequently, the deterioration of the fuel consumption ratio due to the operations of the accessories is suppressed.

The Energy Management System comprises an electronic module (10) which incorporates a microcontroller (12) as a calculation engine and means for controlling various systems of an electric vehicle or other vehicle having limited energy storage. A variety of sensors including battery sensors (18), temperature sensor (20), current sensor (22), temperature sensors (24, 26, 28, 30), speed sensor (32), accelerometer (34), and ignition switch (36) provide information for the Energy Management System to derive control parameters for the systems. Automatic control of heating and air conditioning system (56), external lighting system (58) and the operation of motor controller (54) as well as display of information, status and queries to the driver are controlled by the Energy Management System and range and navigation recommendations are made based on predetermined driving profiles maintained in the system.

摘要:
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.

A method is described for the automatic management of the energy autonomy of a vehicle, and includes receiving a signal for indicating a distance and/or a path to cover, and dividing the distance and/or the path into space intervals; calculating an allowable variation of energy capacity in a space interval based on energy capacity detected by the sensors and on variation laws of the energy capacity; determining limit conditions for the speed and/or acceleration of the vehicle, on the basis of a map, chosen among a plurality of maps of speed-acceleration-variation of energy capacity; generating a regulated instantaneous torque request on the basis of the speed and/or acceleration detected by the plurality of sensors, of the determined limit conditions for the speed and/or acceleration and of the instantaneous torque request generated by the first central control unit. An electronic system capable of implementing such a method is described.
