Eco-Driving Route Retrieval via Dynamic Fuel Table Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack the capability to provide route information optimized for minimizing fuel consumption, as they rely on predetermined data without considering actual fuel usage patterns and vehicle-specific factors.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a user input unit, retrieval unit, and controller that modifies a prestored fuel table based on actual fuel consumption data, including topographical, driving habit, and vehicle status information, to retrieve an eco-driving route that minimizes fuel consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If predetermined fuel table data is used for route retrieval, then the system is simple to operate, but the fuel consumption optimization accuracy is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors actual fuel consumption and uses this feedback to dynamically update the fuel table. The controller compares expected fuel consumption with actual consumption, calculates the difference, and adjusts the fuel table accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that improves accuracy over time
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing fuel consumption data in a fuel table before actual route retrieval. This preliminary data is then refined through continuous monitoring and updating, allowing the system to have both pre-prepared data and adaptive optimization capabilities
2Measurement precision
If actual fuel consumption monitoring is implemented, then the fuel consumption data accuracy is improved, but the energy consumption of the electronic device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller monitors actual fuel consumption at preset time intervals rather than continuously, reducing energy consumption while still gathering sufficient data for accurate fuel table updates. This periodic monitoring balances measurement precision with energy efficiency
3Measurement precision
If the fuel table is continuously updated with actual consumption data, then the route optimization accuracy is improved, but the data processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs partial updates to the fuel table by only adjusting data for specific road sections where actual consumption differs significantly from expected values. This selective updating approach maintains route optimization accuracy while reducing overall data processing time
