Patent number: 11386784Abstract: Systems and method are provided for predicting a vehicle pose. In one embodiment, a system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory computer readable medium includes: an asynchronous prediction module configured to, by a processor, receive vehicle data from a vehicle, and compute a prediction of vehicle pose from the vehicle data, wherein the computation is performed asynchronously using a vehicle time frame and a common coordinate system; and a synchronous prediction module configured to, by the processor, compute a final prediction of the vehicle pose across the vehicle population based on the prediction of vehicle pose from the asynchronous prediction module, wherein the computation is performed synchronously using a global time frame and the common system.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Joon Hwang, Mason D. Gemar, Geoffrey Wakefield, Donal B. McErlean, Scott E. Jackson, Jim McCord, Damien P. Rennick

Patent number: 10430178Abstract: An updating system of a vehicle includes a communication module configured to wirelessly download an over the air (OTA) update package. The OTA update package includes: a predetermined period for beginning installation of the OTA update package; an indicator of a module and code to be updated; and replacement code. A display control module is configured to, when a transmission of the vehicle is in park and the predetermined period has not yet passed after the downloading of the OTA update package, display a message on a display within a passenger cabin of the vehicle. The message solicits user input regarding whether to: (i) begin installation of the OTA update package; or (ii) install the OTA update package at a later time.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Monica E. Mitchell, Kevin M. Baltes, Brian J. Ciesinski, Peter M. Ansbro, Scott E. Jackson, Kathleen S. McMahon, Kelly M. Comastro

Patent number: 9057621Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain controller, an energy storage system (ESS), a traction motor, an electrical device such as an HVAC system and/or auxiliary system, and a navigation system. The navigation system generates a recommended eco-route or other travel route. The navigation system receives vehicle state information including a current powertrain state from the controller and a power load value from the device(s), including a state of charge of the ESS. The vehicle state information is used to select between a charge-depleting and a charge-sustaining costing model. The route is generated using the selected model, and then displayed. The navigation system includes a host machine which selects the model and generates the route, and a display screen for displaying the route. A method for generating the route includes receiving the current powertrain state and power load values, and using the state information to select between the charge-depleting and charge-sustaining models.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2011Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Edward D.
