  • Publication number: 20060259233
    Abstract: A road precursory and vehicle trip recording method of a navigation system employs a GPS and an inertial measurer to access respectively the present coordinate point and driving direction of the car in an electronic map, defines a comparative coordinate point by using an estimated distance before the present coordinate point of the vehicle, and compares the present speed of the vehicle with a predetermined safety vehicle speed of the comparative coordinate point set in an electronic map so as to transmit precursory signals once the present speed of the vehicle exceeds the predetermined safety vehicle speed, thereby preventing the vehicle driver from danger resulted from fatigue or carelessness. In addition, the actual speed, the turning angle of the steering wheel, and the GPS coordinate points and time will be fully recorded during driving.

  • Patent number: 7083536
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a hybrid system with a controllable function of variable speed transmission, especially to the reorganized hybrid system adopting a high efficiency and power saving transmission for vehicles traveling on different landforms and being convenient in maintenance, further that to avoid damaging components which being not in maintenance. Hence, the present invention adopts a plurality of power sources to cooperate each other for power transmission by way of a complex combination of the power sources and comprises: at least one first electric power driving device, at least one fuel driving device, at least one automatic clutching device, at least one continuously variable transmission device and at least one system-controlling device.

  • Publication number: 20030221884
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hybrid power driving apparatus and its controlling method, especially using different types of power sources to cooperate them in parallel with each other. Due to a way of combining power sources in parallel, a single power source is able to be operated independently for not wasting energy under a condition of not combining power sources. The hybrid power diving apparatus comprise at least one controlling system apparatus, one electric driving apparatus, one fuel driving apparatus, one auto-control clutch apparatus and one integrated power assistant apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20030105562
    Abstract: The present invention is a power output control system for electric vehicle with hybrid fuel cell, which is an optimal design of DC/DC converter and applies the controller area network (CAN) as a connected instrument for communication to make a power source tend to be more flexible. When the invention is designed in the states of medium and low loads (for example, cruise in constant speed), the main electric energy supplied by the fuel cell boosts the fuel cell to an appropriate voltage through the control of DC/DC converter. While in the state of high load (for example, transient acceleration or uphill creep), the fuel cell may be served as an on-board charger. Not only the fuel cell may provide a maximum base load of electric power, but also the remaining requirement of electric energy is matched with the additional output of electric energy supplied by a high power secondary battery.
