  • Publication number: 20180357580
    Abstract: A computer includes a processor that is programmed to receive data including a current user biometric data and vehicle operating data. The processor is programmed to determine a user workload value based on the received data and a workload determination classifier that is based on received data including workload values collected from a plurality of tests of test users driving along one or more routes. The processor is programmed to cause an action in the vehicle according to the determined workload.

  • Patent number: 9663111
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain having an electric machine and an engine. The vehicle also includes a controller programmed to operate the powertrain according to a predicted vehicle speed profile for a predetermined route segmented according to a group of driving zone types, wherein each driving zone type is associated with a different characteristic speed profile shape and vehicle location. The controller is further programmed to update the predicted segment speed profile in response to deviation between the predicted speed profile and a measured speed profile.

  • Publication number: 20100305798
    Abstract: System and method for vehicle drive cycle determination and energy management is provided. Based on a number of inputs, the system can determine the type of road that the vehicle is likely to drive on as well as the level of traffic congestion that the vehicle is likely to experience. Using these determinations, setpoints for various degrees of freedom, such as engine speed and battery power, can be set to reduce energy usage in the vehicle.
