SYSTEM AND METHOD OF FUEL FILLING TO MINIMIZE FUEL COST

摘要

In an example, a method for determining quantities of fuel to dispense at a plurality of terminals along a transit route of a vehicle includes identifying a plurality of terminals along the transit route, each terminal of the plurality of terminals have an associated cost-per-unit of fuel dispensed; initializing a set of candidate fueling scenarios, each candidate fueling scenario including an initial array of values, each value in the array of values indicating a quantity of fuel to dispense to the vehicle at one of the plurality of terminals along the transit route; iteratively, using at least one processor, modifying the set of candidate scenarios; identifying the candidate scenario of the set of candidate scenarios with the lowest total fuel cost; and transmitting for display, the quantity of fuel to dispense at each of the plurality of terminals according to the identified lowest total fuel cost candidate scenario.

1. A method for determining quantities of fuel to dispense at a plurality of terminals along a transit route of a vehicle, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of terminals along the transit route, each terminal of the plurality of terminals have an associated cost-per-unit of fuel dispensed; initializing a set of candidate fueling scenarios, each candidate fueling scenario including an initial array of values, each value in the array of values indicating a quantity of fuel to dispense to the vehicle at one of the plurality of terminals along the transit route; iteratively, using at least one processor, modifying the set of candidate scenarios; identifying the candidate scenario of the set of candidate scenarios with the lowest total fuel cost; and transmitting for display, the quantities of fuel to dispense at each of the plurality of terminals according to the identified lowest total fuel cost candidate scenario.
