Abstract: A method for remotely controlling the operation of a gas powered golf car, wherein the method comprises, via a global positioning system enhanced fleet management system (GPSEFMS) of the golf car communicatively connected with an internal combustion engine control unit (ECU) and a global position sensor of the golf car: monitoring a location of the golf car as the golf car is moving utilizing geospatial position data communicated from a global position sensor of the golf car to the GPSEFMS; determining when the golf car is one of near or within a geofenced area; and sending control commands to the ECU instructing the ECU to modify operation of the internal combustion engine, and hence operation of the golf car, in accordance with a predetermined operation profile specific to the geofenced area.

Abstract: A prime mover for a lightweight vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine, a starter motor integrally integrated with the internal combustion engine, and a housing for the prime mover. The prime mover additionally comprises a Hall Effect sensor and an prime mover control module structured and operable to communicate with the Hall Effect sensor, determine when operation of the internal combustion engine should cease, and upon the determination that operation of the internal combustion engine should cease, utilize the communication from the Hall Effect sensor to stop the internal combustion engine such that a piston of the internal combustion engine is positioned at between 15° and 25° after bottom-dead-center.

Abstract: A technique controls regenerative braking to reduce skidding of a vehicle. Such a technique involves imparting rotation to an alternating current (AC) electric motor to move the vehicle to a first commanded vehicle speed; applying a regenerative braking power to the AC electric motor to bring the vehicle to a second commanded vehicle speed; while applying the regenerative braking power, adjusting the level of regenerative braking power applied to follow a predetermined speed reduction rate; while adjusting the level of regenerative braking power applied, provide a limit to the maximum level of regenerative braking power available; and while providing the limit to the maximum level of regenerative braking power available, adjusting the limit to the maximum level of regenerative braking power available based on a current speed of the vehicle.
