Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing predictions regarding traffic conditions based upon learned/measured traffic conditions. Current traffic conditions can be measured and characterized based on speed or other factors as a vehicle traverses the route. These measured traffic conditions can be compared to predicted traffic conditions. A weighting term can be associated with the measured traffic conditions based upon the comparison. During a subsequent time that the vehicle traverses the route, a traffic conditions prediction may be made. The weighting term and measured traffic conditions data can be used to adjust the traffic conditions prediction for better accuracy, and an optimal time(s) during which a battery of a hybrid vehicle can be pre-charged can be requested.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing context-based knowledge forwarding which ties a contextual meaning to knowledge, ensuring that knowledge is received within the proper context. A vehicle can query knowledge within a context (e.g., rainy weather conditions), and in response will be forwarded knowledge that was created in similar context (e.g., rainy weather). Contextual features are assigned to knowledge during a knowledge cycle, and contextual features are leveraged when the knowledge is forwarded to be utilized by entities in the vehicular knowledge network. A computer system can construct a knowledge context that corresponds to knowledge. The computer system can also perform context-based knowledge forwarding for a knowledge query by determining that the knowledge context corresponds to a query context of a knowledge query.

Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) charging and cooling system is described that supplies electric power to charge an EV while simultaneously providing coolant to cool the charging components of the EV during the charging process. For example, the system includes a charging device that provides electrical power for charging a battery of the EV. The system also includes a coolant device that transfers coolant to the EV during charging for cooling the battery of the EV. The system also withdraws the coolant from the EV that has been used, and heated to a temperature that may not be suitable for cooling as a result of absorbing heat from the charging components. The system can cool the used coolant back to the cooled temperature to recirculate to the EV throughout a direct current (DC) fast charging process, which provides thermal stability and mitigates damage to the EV from overheating.
