  • BATTERY ISSUE IDENTIFICATION AND CONFIDENCE-LEVEL BASED REMEDIAL ACTION
    Publication number: 20230234550
    Abstract: Responsive to data being indicative of conditions that will decrease a life of a battery to the extent the life expectancy will be less than a target value with a confidence that exceeds a first threshold, a processor may generate an alert or mitigation recommendations. Responsive to data being indicative of the cause of conditions that result in the life expectancy to be less than a target value with a confidence that exceeds a second threshold, the processor may implement a control strategy or set of control strategies to benefit the life expectancy of the battery.

  • BATTERY FAULT DETECTION
    Publication number: 20230068963
    Abstract: A control system, responsive to receiving values of one or more parameters of a battery of a vehicle for a particular time in service, generates via a machine learning determination a level of confidence at which the values of the one or more parameters of the battery match values of one or more parameters of a set of batteries for a same time in service, and responsive to the level exceeding a predefined threshold, causes a mitigation action to be implemented.

  • System and methods for controlling a stop/start engine
    Patent number: 10724490
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a vehicle that includes an engine that may be automatically stopped and started are described. In one example, thresholds for allowing or inhibiting of automatic engine stopping and starting may be adjusted in response to an automatic engine cranking time. Additionally, automatic engine stopping may be inhibited during some conditions.
