Method and apparatus for analyzing and optimizing fuel/energy consumption

摘要

A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request for improving vehicular energy conservation. The method further includes responsively providing at least one action to a vehicle computing system, based at least in part on received vehicle data. Also, the method includes receiving data relating to a change in vehicle energy efficiency resulting from implementation of the action. The method additionally includes analyzing the received data and action along with data resulting from similar actions to determine a generalized effect of the action.

1. A system comprising:
a processor configured to: obtain a power-saving strategy from a remote database based on a profile of drivers having driving styles similar to a current driver in response to a battery electric vehicle having an estimated range short of a distance to a destination for a current power-use profile; automatically implement the obtained power-saving strategy; and repeatedly obtain and implement power-saving strategies until the estimated range exceeds remaining distance to the destination.
