Title: REAL-TIME VEHICLE STATE TRAJECTORY PREDICTION FOR VEHICLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND AUTONOMOUS DRIVE
Abstract: [0001]    Systems and methods described herein are directed to predicting velocity and trajectory of a vehicle based on a route to be navigated for a vehicle, thereby estimating the vehicle drive cycle, for one or more segments of the route. The predicted velocity trajectory is determined from a machine learning function that takes into account historical information from vehicle routes traveled by other vehicles.

Claims: number: 1
text: A vehicle, comprising:
number: 2
text: The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:
number: 3
text: The vehicle of claim 1 or 2, wherein the processor is configured to:
number: 4
text: The vehicle of any preceding claim, wherein the processor is configured to:
number: 5
text: A method, comprising:
number: 6
text: The method of claim 5, wherein the determining the expected velocity for the each of the one or more vehicles is based on an input global positioning satellite route (GPS) and historical trip information.
number: 7
text: The method of claim 5 or 6, further comprising:
number: 8
text: The method of any of claims 5-7, further comprising:
number: 9
text: The method of any of claims 5-8, further comprising:
number: 10
text: The method of any of claims 5-9, further comprising:
number: 11
text: A system, comprising:
number: 12
text: The vehicle of any of claims 1-4, or the system of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to determine the expected velocity for the vehicle or each of the one or more vehicles based on a global positioning satellite route (GPS) input to the vehicle or each of the one or more vehicles and historical trip information, wherein the data received from the one or more sensors preferably comprises traffic information along the route.
number: 13
text: The vehicle of any of claims 1-4 and 12, or the system of claim 11 or 12, wherein the processor is configured to:
number: 14
text: The system of any of claims 11-13, wherein the processor is further configured to:
number: 15
text: The system of any of claims 11-14, wherein
the processor is configured to provide models to the one or more vehicles for at least one of an aftertreatment system, gear control system and powertrain control system, each of the models configured to control the vehicle based on an input of the estimated velocity for one or more road segments of the route information, and/or the one or more vehicles are configured to modify the expected velocity for the one or more portions of the route based on data received from one or more sensors associated with the one or more vehicles.
