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: determine that a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) has a remaining estimated range falling short of a distance to a destination based on a current power-use profile; access a remote database storing known power-saving strategies; obtain a power-saving strategy based on change in current power usage; and automatically implement the power-saving strategy to change current power usage.
