Claim 8:
9. A system for activating an engine of a target hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) to charge a battery, comprising:
a server configured to:
receive from HEVs respective global positioning system (GPS) traces, wherein the GPS traces comprise respective coordinates and trace metadata, wherein each trace metadata relates to at least one of a battery charge of a respective HEV, ambient noise, slope, speed of the respective HEV, acceleration of the respective HEV, gas pedal status of the respective HEV, brake pedal status of the respective HEV, average battery consumption/regeneration (eabcr) by of the respective HEV, battery regeneration on stop (eabrs) of the respective HEV, number of times the respective HEV stopped (ents), and average stop time (east) by the respective HEV;
obtain a navigation map using the GPS traces, wherein the navigation map comprises edges and edge metadata obtained using the trace metadata;
obtain a policy using the navigation map to obtain an activation action of the engine of the target HEV, wherein the policy is configured to provide the activation action based on historical road segment traversals, a current battery level of the target HEV, and whether the engine of the target HEV is in an ON state or an OFF state, and wherein the activation action is selected from a set comprising a first activation action of turning the engine on and a second activation action of turning the engine off; and
transmit the policy to the target HEV.
