Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for predicting energy consumption in vehicles. In an example method, a predicted energy consumption model associated with a vehicle may be determined. Sensor data associated with the vehicle may be received via a plurality of sensors associated with the vehicle. A driver-based energy consumption model associated with the vehicle may then be determined based at least in part on the sensor data. An estimated energy consumption model associated with the vehicle may then be determined based at least in part on the predicted energy consumption model and the driver-based energy consumption model. A vehicle charging prediction model may then be determined based at least in part on the estimated energy consumption model.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for transmitting a charging recommendation from a cloud-based server to an electric vehicle (EV), where the charging recommendation includes preferred options for charging stations and/or charging times. In one example, a method comprises receiving, at a cloud-based charging recommendation system of an EV charging system, a set of battery charging parameters from the EV via a secure anonymous connection; determining a set of candidate charging stations for the EV, based on the received battery charging parameters; estimating sustainability, cost, and preference metrics for each candidate charging station; ranking the future charge events based on the sustainability, cost, and preference metrics; selecting one or more charge options for the EV from the ranked future charge events; generating the charging recommendation with the one or more charge options; and transmitting the charging recommendation to the EV via the secure anonymous connection.

Abstract: A structured method of matching schemas that uses multiple levels of ontologies is disclosed. The method maps functions of a target system to a process ontology and maps functions of a source system to the process ontology to produce a first mapping of target functions and source functions using the process ontology. The method identifies target function parameters upon which the target functions operate and identifies source function parameters upon which the source functions operate. Then, the method maps the target function parameters to a concept ontology and maps the source function parameters to the concept ontology to produce a second mapping of the target function parameters and the source function parameters using the concept ontology. This second mapping is enhanced by mapping the target function parameters to a data-type ontology and mapping the source function parameters to the data-type ontology.
