Claim One:
1. A method for managing the energy consumed by a mobile system, for a given route between a point of departure A and a point of arrival B, the method including at least one set of trajectories composed of the trajectory of a setpoint for controlling the motor mechanism and of the trajectory of a setpoint for controlling at least one piece of auxiliary equipment, the trajectory of a setpoint describing the variation of said setpoint as a function of the position of the mobile system, said trajectories being calculated with respect to given objectives according to an optimization algorithm whose variables are formed from said setpoints, said method comprising: a preliminary step, itself comprising: a sub-step for storing an approximate profile for said route in the form of segments XL of straight lines, forming a first series of positions XL(k) sampled all along the route, a sampled position XL(k) corresponding to the passage from one segment to the following segment; a sub-step for sampling of said profile according to a spatial pitch Xe, forming a second series of positions sampled Xe(j) all along the route, the sampled positions Xe(j) being situated within the segments XL; the trajectories of said setpoints being recalculated at each sampled position XL(k) of the first series according to the optimization algorithm, the setpoints being constant over a given segment XL, a simulation predicting the energy environment of the mobile system up to the point of arrival B being carried out at each sampled position Xe(j) of the second series as a function of said setpoints and at least of the approximate profile of the remaining part of the route, the optimization algorithm taking into account the result of the simulation for calculating the setpoints of the trajectories.
