  • Patent number: 12559107
    Abstract: A computer system is configured to receive a start position and a planned destination position for an electric vehicle of a vehicle type, estimate energy consumption and variance for at least one route between the start position and the destination position for the vehicle type, based on reference energy consumption vehicle data collected from secondary vehicles, calculate a confidence interval for the estimated energy consumption and variance at a predetermined confidence level, determine a present energy level in the electrical energy storage system, in response to the present energy level being below the confidence interval upper limit, control the vehicle according to a first mode, the first mode including a first route between the start position and the destination position, and in response to the present energy level exceeding or being equal to the confidence interval upper limit, control the vehicle according to a second mode, the second mode including a second route between the start position and the

  • Publication number: 20250296479
    Abstract: A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to: simulate a power output profile for an upcoming route for a vehicle, acquire cooling efficiency information of a cooling system, calculating the power output available from the fuel cell system without overloading the cooling system, determine a control strategy for energy stored in the electrical energy storage system from a present position to the end of the route, execute the control strategy, and update the simulation and the control strategy while the vehicle is travelling the route.
