VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SERVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18545394 titled 'VEHICLE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SERVER
The patent application describes a method for managing a power storage device in a vehicle based on its degradation levels.
- Determining fees based on the degradation levels of the power storage device.
- Using different evaluation methods to assess the degradation levels with varying degrees of accuracy.
- Adjusting lease fees for the power storage device based on the evaluation results.
- Ensuring accurate assessment of degradation levels to determine appropriate fees for the lease period.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Fleet management
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of power storage devices in vehicles - Accurate assessment of degradation levels - Optimization of lease fees based on degradation levels
Benefits: - Cost-effective management of power storage devices - Improved performance and longevity of the devices - Enhanced reliability of the vehicle's power system
Commercial Applications: "Optimized Power Storage Device Management Method for Vehicles: Enhancing Efficiency and Cost-effectiveness in Fleet Operations"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method ensure accurate assessment of degradation levels in the power storage device? 2. What are the potential cost savings for vehicle fleet operators using this management method?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle management method for managing a power storage device included in a vehicle includes: determining a first fee commensurate with a first degree of degradation of the power storage device evaluated in an evaluation period by a first method; determining a second fee commensurate with a second degree of evaluation, when obtaining the second degree of degradation of the power storage device evaluated in the evaluation period by a second method with a higher measurement accuracy than the first method; determining the second fee as a lease fee for a lease period, when the second fee is lower than the first fee; and determining the first fee as a lease fee for the lease period, when the second degree of degradation evaluated in and before the evaluation period is not obtained.
