Abstract: A method for managing power consumption in a BEV includes obtaining real time vehicle data via an ECU of the BEV and receiving information regarding deliveries that are planned by a user for a specific day based on a user input or data acquisition from a remote database. The method further includes determining consumption of energy for completion of the deliveries on the specific day based on the obtained real time vehicle data and the received information and then calculating a distance that can be traveled by the BEV based on the determined consumption of energy. The method further includes determining a temperature difference between an internal temperature of a TRU of the BEV and an external temperature outside the TRU in real time, estimating an impact of the determined temperature difference on the determined consumption of energy, and thereafter displaying the results of the estimation on an HMI.

Abstract: A method for managing mileage capacity of a BEV having a TRU includes obtaining live vehicle data via an ECU of the BEV and determining a rate of consumption of energy stored in the energy storage unit and an efficiency of BEV's components based on the live vehicle data. The method further includes triggering an operation mode of the BEV based on the determined rate of consumption of energy and the efficiency, and thereafter controlling a cooling and a heating capacity of the TRU based on the triggered operation mode. The method includes optimizing the rate of the consumption of energy based on the controlled cooling and the heating capacity of the TRU and then notifying a message indicating current operating modes of the BEV and activation of an energy saving mode to a user of the BEV via one of a HMI, mobile application, or a visual indicator.

Abstract: A transport refrigeration system is provided comprising a cargo container and a transport refrigeration unit arranged to cool the cargo container. The cargo container is equipped with a mobile bulkhead that partitions the interior of the cargo container. The transport refrigeration unit comprises a heat-absorbing heat exchanger positioned in fluid communication with the interior of the cargo container. The transport refrigeration system is further provided with a sensor configured to determine a distance between the mobile bulkhead and the heat-absorbing heat exchanger. A method of operating a transport refrigeration system is also provided.

Abstract: A method of operating a transport refrigeration unit of a vehicle comprises determining a vehicle route from a current location of the vehicle to a final destination of the vehicle; determining whether to operate a refrigeration system of the transport refrigeration unit in a normal mode or an economy mode; and operating the refrigeration system in the economy mode.

Abstract: A transport refrigeration system comprising: a refrigerated compartment, a refrigeration unit operably coupled to the refrigerated compartment, and a controller for controlling the environment within the refrigerated compartment by controlling the refrigeration unit; a container for storing perishable goods; and a wireless module secured to the container and configured to store a target container temperature; wherein the controller is configured to: receive the target container temperature from the wireless module responsive to the container being placed in the refrigerated compartment; and control the environment within the refrigerated compartment by controlling the operation of the refrigeration unit in accordance with the target container temperature.
