VEHICLE DEACTIVATION CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18394593 titled 'VEHICLE DEACTIVATION CONTROL
The abstract of the patent application describes a computer system that can deactivate a heavy-duty vehicle by implementing a controlled partial deactivation instruction based on the vehicle's historical usage pattern.
- The processor device receives a deactivation request for the vehicle.
- It determines a controlled partial deactivation instruction for at least one subsystem of the vehicle.
- The instruction is based on an autonomous model that analyzes the historical usage pattern of the vehicle, including past deactivation and activation events at specific locations.
- The processor device then controls the vehicle to execute the controlled partial deactivation instruction, either immediately or after a delay specified by the instruction.
Potential Applications: - Fleet management systems for heavy-duty vehicles - Autonomous vehicle technology - Energy efficiency optimization in transportation
Problems Solved: - Efficiently deactivating heavy-duty vehicles when needed - Reducing unnecessary deactivation of vehicle systems - Improving overall vehicle performance and longevity
Benefits: - Enhanced control over vehicle deactivation processes - Increased reliability and safety of heavy-duty vehicles - Optimal utilization of vehicle subsystems based on historical data
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Deactivation System for Heavy-Duty Vehicles" This technology can be utilized in industries such as logistics, construction, and public transportation to improve operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the autonomous model analyze the historical usage pattern of the vehicle? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this smart deactivation system in a fleet of heavy-duty vehicles?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, fleet management systems, and energy-efficient transportation solutions to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of the smart deactivation system for heavy-duty vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer system comprising a processor device is provided. The processor device is configured to receive a deactivation request to deactivate a heavy-duty vehicle. The processor device is further configured to determine a controlled partial deactivation instruction of at least one subsystem of the vehicle, wherein the controlled partial deactivation instruction is determined by an autonomous model comprising a historical usage pattern of the vehicle. The historical usage pattern comprises information of deactivation events and activation events of the vehicle that has historically occurred at reference locations. The processor device is further configured to control the vehicle to execute the controlled partial deactivation instruction such that the vehicle is at least partially deactivated either immediately, or after a delay, as determined by the controlled partial deactivation instruction.
