  • Patent number: 11370435
    Abstract: A method for controlling automated driving operations of a vehicle includes determining vehicle origin and destination data, and generating a graphical representation of a road network with multiple candidate routes between the vehicle's origin and destination. Road-level data, including speed, turn angle, and/or gradient data, is received for each candidate route, and respective total energy uses are estimated for the vehicle to traverse across the candidate routes. Multiple candidate driving strategies, each having respective speed and acceleration profiles, are determined for the candidate route with the lowest estimated total energy use. An optimal candidate driving strategy is selected through a cost evaluation of the associated speed and acceleration profiles and forward movement simulations of the vehicle over a prediction horizon.

  • Patent number: 10976800
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor, a volatile memory, and a non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory stores a first operating system, and the electronic device works in a first working mode and a second working mode. When the electronic device is in the first working mode, a second operating system is run in the volatile memory. When the processor detects that the electronic device reaches a preset condition for entering the second working mode, the non-volatile memory is enabled, and non-system data in the volatile memory is moved to the non-volatile memory. The non-system data does not include the second operating system. After the movement of the non-system data is completed, the volatile memory is disabled, and the first operating system is run in the non-volatile memory, so that the electronic device enters the second working mode.
