Abstract: A system and method of tracking energy usage in a vehicle. The method, in one implementation, involves building an energy usage prediction model, obtaining a planned route for a vehicle that contains one or more planned route segments, applying the energy usage prediction model to each planned route segment of the one or more planned route segments of the planned route to obtain an energy usage plan, receiving onboard data from the vehicle, constructing an actual route based on the onboard data, and performing a match analysis between the planned route and the actual route based on the onboard data.

Abstract: Presented are intelligent vehicle systems and control logic for driver coaching and on-demand vehicle charging, methods for making/using such systems, and motor vehicles with real-time eco-routing and automated driving capabilities. A method for controlling operation of a vehicle includes: determining an origin and destination for the vehicle; conducting a geospatial query to identify a candidate route for traversing from the origin to the destination; determining, based on current electrical characteristics of the vehicle's battery pack, an estimated driving range for the vehicle; responsive to the estimated driving range being less than the candidate route's distance, evaluating energy characteristics of the candidate route to derive an estimated energy expenditure to reach the destination; using the estimated energy expenditure, generating an action plan with vehicle maneuvering and/or accessory usage actions that extend the estimated driving range; and commanding a resident vehicle subsystem to execute a control operation based on the action plan.

Abstract: A system for optimizing life of a battery pack in a plug-in vehicle includes sensors for measuring battery performance data, including an open-circuit voltage, charging current, and/or temperature of the battery pack, a GPS receiver, a user interface, and a controller. The controller executes a method to monitor degradation of the battery pack using the performance data, and determines driving and charging histories for an operator of the vehicle using the measured battery performance data and a position signal from the GPS receiver. The histories identify the days, hours, and locations at which the operator has driven the vehicle and charged the battery pack. The controller identifies a state of charge data bin missing performance data or containing old performance data. The controller then controls a charging operation of the battery pack via a charging control signal, and records the measured battery performance data for the identified SOC data bin.

Abstract: A system to display an image on a vehicle window including a memory, controller, transceiver, external display, sensor, and a plurality of windows. The memory includes one or more executable instructions. The controller is configured to execute the instructions. The transceiver can receive data transmissions. The external display is configured to exhibit an image on the windows, the exhibited image being visible in the external vehicle environment. The sensor measures a selected target being in the vehicle environment. The sensor signally communicates target measurement. The instructions enable the controller to: receive the data transmission with digital image information; operate the sensor to make at least one target measurement of the selected target; receive the target measurement signal; determine the location of the selected target; determine the window to be closest to the selected target; and operate the external display to exhibit a representative image.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing a plug-in vehicle fleet having a plurality of battery packs across the vehicle fleet. Each vehicle includes a battery pack. The system includes sensors for measuring battery performance data and includes an open-circuit voltage, charging current, and/or temperature of the battery pack, a GPS receiver, a user interface, and a controller. The controller executes a method to monitor degradation of each battery pack using a variety of current and historical data points. The controller then controls a charging operation of each battery pack in a fleet via a charging control signal sent to a particular vehicle in the fleet. The controller also then determines the new location for each particular vehicle in a fleet.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining deviations is expected range, expected fuel economy, or both, for a vehicle. In accordance with one embodiment, a system includes a sensor unit and a processor. The sensor unit is configured to at least facilitate obtaining inputs for one or more factors having an effect on energy performance and/or fuel efficiency for a vehicle. The processor is coupled to the sensor unit, and is configured to at least facilitate determining a change in expected range for the vehicle from the one or more factors based on the inputs.
