摘要:
The movements and interactions of mobile physical entities such as vehicles, individuals and so on in a physical space can be monitored and controlled by providing a graphical representation of the physical space including an indication of a position of a mobile entity with respect to a region associated with a reference point in the physical space where the indication is situated at a distance from the reference point where the distance is proportional to the predicted time of arrival of the entity in the region. On this basis, mobile entities are shown in the order of expected arrival, rather than their instantaneous physical location, supporting more rapid assimilation of anticipated arrivals and traffic conditions.

Values in a graphical interface such as a spreadsheet can be manipulated indirectly by means of a feature whereby representative values, such as unique values are identified and presented separately. Manipulations of these representative values are then passed on to the corresponding original values.

The movements and interactions of mobile physical entities such as vehicles, individuals and so on in a physical space can be monitored and controlled by defining paths and regions with associated signalling operations in a graphical representation. The signalling operations can be defined to provide information as to movements and interactions to a system user, or to provide information or instructions to the entities or their occupants. Regions and paths may be connected, for example through the graphical interface, to pass signalling operations to each other so as to define complex interactions. Logic units may be provided between regions and paths to further process signalling operations so as to support further degrees of complexity. The operations of regions, paths, entities, connections and logical units can be presented in the graphical representation, for example as finite state machines.

The invention discloses a vehicle management system which is energy centric. The system may be configured to operate on a terrestrial vehicle, a nautical or on an aerial vehicle. It is configured to allow a user input a route comprising legs, each leg associated with an activity and an energy consumption mode. The system captures parameters from sensors or sensor emulators to compute a position of the vehicle and a predicted energy consumption per leg. The system comprises a display unit which associates graphically the activities, their energy consumptions and their duration. It allows the user to simulate what-if scenarios, to continuously visualize the impact of modifications of some of the parameters of energy consumption on an energy/time/range budget. The invention discloses a vehicle energy management system wherein the simulation capability is configured to display the time spent on each activity in a scale which is commensurate to the energy consumption. The invention also discloses a vehicle energy management system wherein estimated variables which impact the energy consumption may be acquired by the system to validate the conditions under which the mission performed by the vehicle will be feasible. The invention may be adapted to other applications than vehicle energy management like project planning and electronic devices energy management, among other result oriented/resource constrained activities.

The invention discloses a method to measure end-to-end and partial latency between an input interface and an output interface of a processing device. The invention uses a generator of a calibrated output to be output by the processing device through the output interface and a sensor configured to capture the calibrated output and send it to a processing unit of the processing device through the input interface. An advantageous arrangement of a calibrated output is a specific texture to be output by a screen and captured by an optical sensor. A specific texture comprises elementary patterns which have a defined number of pixels and a defined proportion and location of dark and light pixels. According to certain aspects of the invention, a calibration of latency is performed based on a number of parameters defining the hardware and/or software configuration of the processing device, and/or its conditions of operation. In specific embodiments, a calibration routine and/or a compensation routine of latency of the processing device may be performed in real time.
