  • Method for route planning in a navigation system of a vehicle, navigation system for a vehicle and vehicle having said navigation system
    Patent number: 11846518
    Abstract: A method for route planning includes a) making an initial energy forecast for a journey route to a route destination using an initial speed for at least one section of the journey route. The method may also include: b1) making a first energy forecast for the journey route using a first speed for the at least one section; b2) making a second energy forecast for the journey route using a second speed for the at least one section; b3) determining whether the journey route, based on the second energy forecast, includes n or n?1 charging stops; and b4) if the journey route includes n charging stops, determining the first speed as specified speed for the at least one section of the journey route, or if the journey route includes n?1 charging stops, repeating steps b2) and b3) with a third speed for the at least one section.

  • Method, system, and vehicle for preparing an energy forecast and determining an optimized driving behavior with respect to the energy forecast
    Patent number: 11584396
    Abstract: A driver assistance method for a vehicle includes the steps of establishing an energy prediction for a route on the basis of an anticipated driver behavior, determining a driving behavior which is optimized with regard to the energy prediction, and outputting an action recommendation on the basis of the optimized driving behavior.
