Abstract: A method including receiving, at a mobile device, a request to provision a first geofence. The first geofence has a first predicted duration that expires before a second predicted geofence is provisioned by the mobile device. Provisioning the first geofence and the second predicted geofence together consume a first amount of power. The method also includes determining a predictive geofence radius based on a predicted speed of the mobile device. The method also includes provisioning a first predictive geofence having the predictive geofence radius and further having a second predicted duration that is different than the first predicted duration and that expires before a second predictive geofence is provisioned by the mobile device. Provisioning the first predictive geofence and the second predictive geofence together consume a second amount of power, the second amount of power less than the first amount of power.

Abstract: A method including receiving, at a mobile device, a request to provision a first geofence. Geolocation hardware on the mobile device determines a current position of the mobile device. Roads are identified within a predetermined number of turns of the current position. Corresponding speed limits applicable to the roads within the predetermined number of turns are retrieved. A predicted average speed of the mobile device is determined by averaging the corresponding speed limits A predictive geofence radius is determined based on the predicted average speed. A first predictive geofence having the predictive geofence radius is provisioned. The first predictive geofence has a third predicted duration before a second predictive geofence is provisioned by the mobile device. Provisioning the first predictive geofence and the second predictive geofence together consume less power than provisioning geofences without prediction.

Abstract: The invention related to a system for control of a hydrogen refueling station. The control of the hydrogen refueling station is optimized according to a high frequency tank profile in a time period between time A and time B. The high frequency tank profile includes selecting a first of the plurality of vessels as supply to the compressor during at least part of the refueling of the vehicle tank, the selection is based on pressure of hydrogen gas in one or more vessels of the supply storage. The control of the hydrogen refueling station is furthermore optimized according to a low frequency tank profile in a time period between time C and time D. The low frequency tank profile includes preparing one or more hydrogen refueling station components to enable a plurality of vehicle tank refuelings in the subsequent time period between time A and time B.
