Embodiment approach

[0036] refer to figure 2 , shows an implementation of the routing module 200 . Routing module 200 is a more detailed implementation of routing module 110 described above and includes all of its features. The routing module 200 may select a route that reduces or minimizes vehicle energy usage. In some implementations, the routing module 200 may select a route for a plurality of vehicles that reduces energy usage. In some implementations, the route selection module 200 may reduce energy consumption based on any of the above factors, for example, select a specific vehicle and / or a specific driver for a certain route based on the energy utilization characteristics of the vehicle and the driver. figure 1 The management device 135 and the in-vehicle device 105 are also shown in communication with the routing module 200 via the network 145 .

[0037] In the described embodiment, the route selection module 200 includes a waypoint module 205, a vehicle characteristic module 210, a ...

Abstract

Vehicle management systems and associated processes can consider energy consumption when selecting routes for fleet vehicles. Vehicle management systems and associated processes are described that, in certain embodiments, evaluate vehicle energy usage based on factors such as terrain or elevation, vehicle characteristics, driver characteristics, road conditions, traffic, speed limits, stop time, turn information, traffic information, and weather information, and the like. The features described herein may also be implemented for non-fleet vehicles, such as in personal vehicle navigation systems.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 281,859, filed November 24, 2009, entitled "Vehicle Route Optimization and Navigation Using Least Energy / Fuel," which The disclosure of is incorporated in this application by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Routing or optimization can be applied in vehicle routing, printed circuit layout, chip design and layout, and biological activity. For example, trucking or other fleets may route vehicles to deliver goods to different destinations. Similarly, transportation companies plan routes for vehicles to pick up and drop off passengers. In addition to land vehicles, routing can also be used for ship, aircraft and rail transportation route planning. [0004] A typical routing problem is to reduce or minimize travel distance or travel time. Routing problems can consider factors such as multiple turns, multiple intersections, ...
