This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18198871 titled 'ENERGY ESTIMATION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an energy estimation apparatus for vehicles.
- The apparatus includes a probability setting unit, a vehicle speed pattern estimation unit, a traveling load estimation unit, and an energy estimation unit.
- The probability setting unit sets a probability of a vehicle reaching a certain speed on a specified traveling route.
- The vehicle speed pattern estimation unit estimates the variation pattern of the vehicle's speed on the route based on the probability and route information.
- The traveling load estimation unit estimates the characteristics of the vehicle's load on the route.
- The energy estimation unit calculates the energy required for the vehicle to travel based on the load characteristics and speed variation pattern.
Original Abstract Submitted
An energy estimation apparatus includes a probability setting unit, a vehicle speed pattern estimation unit, a traveling load estimation unit, and an energy estimation unit. The probability setting unit sets a vehicle speed probability that is a probability of a vehicle reaching a certain vehicle speed on a traveling route that is specified by traveling route information. The vehicle speed pattern estimation unit estimates a vehicle speed variation pattern of the vehicle on the traveling route based on the traveling route information and the vehicle speed probability. The traveling load estimation unit estimates traveling load characteristics of the vehicle on the traveling route. The energy estimation unit estimates energy required for traveling of the vehicle using the traveling load characteristics and the vehicle speed variation pattern.
