Patent number: 11938819Abstract: A method performed by a vehicle feature evaluation system for enabling evaluation of a simulated vehicle-related feature. The vehicle feature evaluation system determines in relation to a road-driven vehicle, with support from a tracking system, an orientation of a head-mounted display, HMD, adapted to be worn by an occupant on-board the road-driven vehicle or position and gaze direction of the occupant. The vehicle feature evaluation system further determines a simulated vehicle design feature to be evaluated in the road-driven vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Casper Wickman, Mattias Wikenmalm, Timotei Ghiurau, Jon Seneger

Patent number: 11727427Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and metrics that filter out online visitor behavioral data that represents a potential lead with a high likelihood to convert to a vehicle sale from online visitor behavioral data that does not represent a potential lead with a low likelihood to convert to a vehicle sale, based on a mapping of sales back to observed website and vehicle configurator data. This enables more effective lead generation and the more efficient targeting of online incentive offers and sales “nudges,” for example. Further, the present disclosure enables web analytics data to be combined with sales data for sales forecasting in general.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Sohini Roy Chowdhury, Jon Seneger, Ebrahim Alareqi, Joakim Soderberg, Ao Liu

Publication number: 20230137791Abstract: Heuristic evaluation systems and methods for spatial information deliverability for electric vehicle (EV) owners who are traveling and looking for charging location suggestions via their navigation systems, mobile applications, and/or the like. Suggestions are captured based on prior knowledge and user desires. In general, the system knows that a user is traveling from point A to point B and has a suggested optimal distance and/or time and/or cost to reach point B. The systems gathers information related to the traveler's desires in relation to lesser known dimensions, to enhance the overall quality of the travel and charging experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Aykut Yararbas, Jon Seneger, Amir Karim Esfahani
