Mobile Battery Charger Dispatch for Multi-Vehicle Fleet Charging

The patent divides the charging facility into multiple modular charging stations, each capable of independently serving one vehicle. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple vehicles simultaneously without requiring a single oversized charging infrastructure, thereby managing current draw and facility complexity while maintaining adequate charging capacity for the fleet.

The patent implements automated guidance systems that enable vehicles to autonomously navigate to and from charging stations without human intervention. The system includes guidance infrastructure and vehicle-mounted sensors that work together to automatically position vehicles at charging stations, eliminating the need for manual driving while reducing operational complexity and time loss.

The patent introduces an automated dispatch system that acts as an intermediary between vehicles and charging stations. This central control system coordinates vehicle movements, monitors battery status, and manages charging assignments, thereby achieving high automation levels while keeping individual vehicle and station components relatively simple. The dispatch system integrates various subsystems without requiring complex modifications to each component.
