Conventional autonomous vehicles lack efficient energy management functions, limiting the processing capability of battery management systems (BMS) to handle advanced energy management calculations, which is crucial for optimizing energy efficiency in eco-friendly vehicles.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous driving platform with at least one processor efficiently manages calculation resources for both driving control and energy management functions, prioritizing processing based on driving information and battery state, allowing parallel or sequential execution of these calculations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the BMS processes advanced energy management calculations, then energy management capability is improved, but the processing capability of the BMS reaches its limits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the calculation processing into two segments: the BMS handles basic energy management calculations, while a separate autonomous driving platform processor handles advanced energy management calculations. This segmentation allows each component to operate within its capability limits while achieving overall advanced functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The autonomous driving platform processor is designed to handle multiple functions including both driving control calculations and energy management calculations. This multi-functionality allows the system to process advanced energy management without requiring dedicated hardware, thus avoiding additional complexity.
2Productivity
If calculation resources are allocated to energy management, then energy management performance is improved, but driving control processing may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically allocates calculation resources based on real-time driving conditions and energy management needs. The processor adjusts the balance between driving control and energy management calculations, ensuring that driving control always receives sufficient resources while allowing energy management to utilize available capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the processor monitors the performance and resource usage of both driving control and energy management functions. Based on this feedback, it adjusts calculation resource allocation to maintain driving control reliability while optimizing energy management performance.
