Abstract: Certain embodiments are described that provide a method for measuring battery parameters under discharge/charge. (a) A battery at rest is provided having an initial State of Charge (SoC). (b) A discharge/charge excitation is applied for a first period of time. (c) The battery is allowed to rest for a second period of time. (d) A discharge/charge is applied, having a higher current and shorter duration than the discharge/charge of step (b). (e) The battery is allowed to rest for a third period of time. (f) Steps (b)-(d) are repeated. Parameters of the battery are measured during a plurality of the steps.

Abstract: Serial communication verification and safety control is disclosed. A multi-part system such as a battery management system can include distributed or subsidiary components for determining status of various parts of the system with the components in serial or point-to-point communication with a collective main controller. A safety controller can be implemented to passively be coupled to the serial or point-to-point communication between the main controller and the subsidiary units. The safety controller can monitor and verify the communication between the main controller and the subsidiary units and send a safety command or verification indicator in another line of communication separate from the communication bus between the main controller and the subsidiary units.

Abstract: A battery management system (BMS) connected to a battery is disclosed. The battery management system includes a battery status component configured to detect one or more parameters of the battery; a timer component configured to compute an amount of time needed to recharge the battery based on one or more of the parameters of the battery; and a scheme initiation component configured to determine an optimal time to begin charging based on the amount of time needed to recharge the battery.

Abstract: A multi-processor architecture for automated driving systems can be used to improve performance and provide design flexibility. For example, a multi-processor architecture can be used to implement command generation and safety functionality in different processors. The command generation processor can be a high performing processor compared with the safety processor. The safety processor can verify the safety of commands output from the command generation processor and provide additional I/O channels that are typically absent on high performing processors. Additionally, processing of some sensor data can be moved to expansion modules with additional processors to reduce bottlenecks and provide design flexibility for systems with different sensing requirements.

Abstract: A method of for authenticating a mobile device for operating a vehicle may include receiving, by a receiver of the vehicle, an operation request from the mobile device to actuate an operation of the vehicle and generating, by a controller of the vehicle, a locally-perceivable signal indicative of a passcode granting a connection with the mobile device, in response to the received operation request. The method may further include receiving, by the receiver of the vehicle, information relating to the passcode from the mobile device, and establishing the connection with the mobile device for actuating the operation of the vehicle if the received information is authenticated.

Abstract: A battery level management system for an electric vehicle during a powered down and uncharged period is disclosed. A current output from a low voltage battery of the electric vehicle being above a threshold can be sensed to wake up a control unit associated with the low voltage battery without waking up or fully powering other control units. Upon waking up, the control unit associated with the low voltage battery can start monitoring the current output from the low voltage battery and controlling the power drawn from the low voltage battery by enabling or disabling other control units to manage the remaining low voltage battery power level.

Abstract: Systems and methods for communication between a vehicle system and a secure communication bus are disclosed. Systems can include a microcontroller and a transceiver configured to send transmit data to the communication bus, receive data from the communication bus, and send data received from the communication bus to the microcontroller. The microcontroller may be prevented from transmitting data to the transceiver by hardware separation between an output of the microcontroller and the transmit data input of the transceiver. The communication bus may be a CAN bus.
