Patent number: 11499516Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for selectively inhibiting a stop-start controller of a vehicle based on a predicted anxiety of a driver of the vehicle on a road segment that includes one or more road attributes associated with increased levels of anxiety. In one example, selectively inhibiting a stop-start controller of a vehicle based on a predicted anxiety of a driver of the vehicle includes determining a driver classification for a driver operating the vehicle; predicting an anxiety level of the driver at an upcoming traffic condition, based on the driver classification; and selectively inhibiting an upcoming engine idle-stop event based on the predicted anxiety level of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: David Alfred Ostrowski, Sanjay Abhyankar, Leopoldo Urbina, Sheida Malekpour, Christopher Leon Jones, David Michael Herman

Publication number: 20220153283Abstract: Vehicle environment data about operation of a plurality of vehicles and vehicle component data for a vehicle component is input into a machine learning program to obtain a transfer function that correlates vehicle environment data to vehicle component data within a specified range of vehicle component parameters. A first event is identified by determining that a datum in the vehicle component data is outside the specified range. A predictive damage model of a vehicle component is updated based on the first event. A virtual parameter of a component model is adjusted based on output from the predictive damage model.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: David Alfred Ostrowski, Christopher Leon Jones, Jacob Martin Povirk, Ashish Kumar Naidu, Andrew Block

Patent number: 10974567Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an automatic climate control system of a vehicle include, by one or more onboard processors in operative communication with one or more sensors, initiating the automatic climate control system. The processors receive from the one or more sensors at least a vehicle input and a user identifier input. A unique user climate control system actuation action is implemented according to the received vehicle input and user identifier input provided by applying at least one predictive model to a stored set of climate control system operating parameters. A unique user climate control system operating pattern is implemented according to the received vehicle input and user identifier input provided by applying at least one different predictive model to the stored set of climate control system operating parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: David Alfred Ostrowski, Elizabeth Anne Manwell, William Gordon Herbert, Mohan John

Publication number: 20200307621Abstract: A vehicle such as a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and method of operation, which include controller(s) coupled to a communication unit, configured to respond to a trip signal, and in response, to generate a driver notification to adjust vehicle performance parameters, such as acceleration, speed, braking, and others. The driver notification is generated to reduce fuel and/or battery consumption, and according to a recommendation signal that is received from and generated by a remote fleet server, and in response to instantaneous vehicle operating conditions that are communicated in real-time from the vehicle to the remote server. The recommendation signal includes a fuel and/or a battery consumption estimate, among other data. The vehicle controller is also responsive to detecting the one or more adjusted vehicle performance parameters, and to generate and store one or more estimate errors, which are respective differences between the estimates and actual fuel and battery consumption.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: October 1, 2020Inventors: David Alfred OSTROWSKI, Mark Anthony TASCILLO, Smruti Ranjan PANIGRAHI, Joseph NIEMIEC
