Title: Vehicle energy reduction
Inventor: Yash Nagda
IPC: G08G1/00
Filed: 2017-10-17
Abstract: An energy level for each vehicle in a convoy is determined. A following vehicle is assigned as a new lead vehicle when the energy level of a current lead vehicle is below the energy level of the following vehicle 620. When a vehicle is assigned to lead it may actuate one or more subsystems to move ahead of the vehicles in the platoon, it may also reactivate one or more sensors and transmit this data to the one or more following vehicles. The host vehicle may also determine its route 605, identify a first convoy having a route that aligns with at least part of the route 610, and join that convoy 615. When a vehicle joins a convoy as a follower it may deactivate one or more sensors, and reactivate them again upon leaving 640; it may also reduce processing performed by the following vehicles processor. The aim of this invention is to allow for a lead vehicle to be elected based on its remaining energy reserves, and a leader who is running low on power to be moved to a low power following state.
