<p>A method in connection with a fan control system for a vehicle and comprising an analysis unit and a control unit. The fan control system is configured to generate a fan control signal for controlling at least one cooling fan on board the vehicle in order to cool at least one unit on board. The method comprises the steps of - receiving in the fan control system an operating parameter signal comprising at least one operating parameter related to one or more events along the vehicle's future itinerary (A), - analysing said at least one operating parameter by applying a set of operating parameter rules (B), and determining a cooling requirement factor which represents future cooling requirements for said at least one unit on board the vehicle along the future itinerary (C), - generating said fan control signal on the basis of said analysis and determined cooling requirement factor (D), the cooling being controlled proactively in such a way that said one or more events along the future itinerary will influence the control of the cooling fan at their respective times, - controlling the cooling fan by said fan control signal (E).</p> |
