COORDINATED SCHEDULING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS TO ENHANCE AVAILABILITY AND UTILIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17942099 titled 'COORDINATED SCHEDULING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS TO ENHANCE AVAILABILITY AND UTILIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for managing the movement of vehicles at a charging station. This involves determining when a vehicle has completed charging, sending authorization to move the vehicle autonomously, and providing a location for the vehicle to move to.
- Determining the completion of charging for a vehicle at a charging bay
- Sending authorization for autonomous movement of the vehicle
- Providing a location for the vehicle to move to
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as electric vehicle charging stations, autonomous vehicle management systems, and smart transportation networks.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of vehicle movement at charging stations 2. Streamlining the process of transitioning vehicles after charging
Benefits
1. Reducing congestion at charging stations 2. Improving overall efficiency of vehicle charging and movement processes
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Vehicle Movement at Charging Stations
Unanswered Questions
How does the system ensure the safety of autonomous vehicle movement after charging?
The patent abstract does not provide details on the safety measures implemented to ensure the secure movement of vehicles post-charging.
What communication protocols are used between the server and the vehicles for authorization and location updates?
The abstract does not specify the specific communication protocols utilized in the described operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example operation includes one or more of: determining, by a server, a time when a vehicle at a charging bay of a charging station has completed charging, sending, by the server, an authorization to autonomously move the vehicle after the time, and providing, by the server, a location to move the vehicle.
