Systems and methods for mitigating a thermal impact on a vehicle cabin caused by a battery thermal-management system, include determining a status of vehicle climate control system; determining whether a battery thermal-management system of the vehicle is operating above a determined threshold; and if the vehicle climate control system is active and the battery thermal-management system of the vehicle is operating above the determined threshold, adjusting at least one of a plurality of cabin temperature control parameters to mitigate a thermal impact of the battery thermal-management system on a rear portion of the vehicle cabin.

A power module for a transport climate control system that supplies power to a plurality of components of the transport climate control system is provided. The power module includes a power module housing, a power terminal, and a power protection shroud. The power terminal extends through an external surface of the power module housing. The power protection shroud extends from the external surface of the power module housing. The power protection shroud includes a curved wall having a horseshoe shape that surrounds the power terminal.

An adapter for connecting a portable device to a control system of a transport refrigeration system includes a cable having a first end and a second end. A first connector is arranged at the first end of the cable and a second connector is arranged at the second end of the cable. The first connector is connectable to the portable device and the second connector is receivable within a port of the control system.

The present disclosure provides a method including determining an operational mode of a vehicle based on data accumulated from at least one vehicle information system associated with the vehicle; selecting one of a plurality of power consumption profiles for the vehicle based on the determined operational mode; and applying the selected one of the power consumption profiles to the vehicle.

A method and system for a responsive climate control interface are disclosed. The climate control interface includes an interactive element further comprised of a climate settings map and a climate setting selector. The climate setting selector can be moved to different locations on the climate settings map in order to select a climate setting with a particular temperature and fan speed. The appearance of both the climate settings map and the climate setting selector can be changed as the climate change selector is moved in order to visually indicate temperature and fan speed settings. The system also includes a haptic feedback module that can convert climate settings into haptic feedback levels.

A vehicle has a seat movable between an upright position and a reclined position and an automatically adjustable headrest connected to the seat, the automatically adjustable headrest being automatically adjusted for a posture of a head of a user when the user is reclined in the reclined position. The automatically adjustable headrest is automatically adjusted in response to a camera detecting that the user is sleeping or resting either on his or her back or on his or her side, the headrest being adjusted for either a side sleeping posture or a back sleeping posture.

A computing system for a vehicle is provided. The computing system includes one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing system, and a memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors. The processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to determine if a vehicle fuel level or battery power level is below a predetermined threshold. If the vehicle fuel level or battery power level is below the threshold, it is determined if at least one energy conservation measure has been pre-selected by a user. If at least one energy conservation measure has been pre-selected by a user, it is determined whether or not a user approves implementation of the at least one energy conservation measure. If a user approves implementation of the at least one energy conservation measure, the at least one energy conservation measure is implemented.

A thermal management system for a vehicle, includes: a base refrigerant flow path provided sequentially with a compressor, a second expansion valve, an indoor condenser, a first expansion valve, an external condenser, and an evaporator and configured to flow a refrigerant in the base refrigerant flow path; a chiller refrigerant flow path branched off from the base refrigerant flow path at a downstream point of the external condenser, provided sequentially with a third expansion valve and an integrated chiller, and merged with the base refrigerant flow path at an upstream point of the compressor; and a parallel refrigerant flow path branched off from the base refrigerant flow path at an upstream point of the first expansion valve and merged with the chiller refrigerant flow path at an upstream point of the third expansion valve.

Vehicles may be composed of a relatively few number of “modules” that are assembled together during a final assembly process. An example vehicle may include a body module, a first drive module coupled to a first end of the body module, and a second drive module coupled to a second end of the body module. One or both of the drive modules may include a pair of wheels, a battery, an electric drive motor, and/or a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. One or both of the drive modules may also include a crash structure to absorb impacts. If a component of a drive module fails or is damaged, the drive module can be quickly and easily replaced with a new drive module, minimizing vehicle down time.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an Internet of Things system for regulating air conditioning temperature of a subway in a smart city. The method includes: obtaining, based on at least one collecting device including at least one first collecting device and at least one second collecting device, temperature data and humidity data inside and outside a carriage of a plurality of carriages of the subway; and determining, based on the temperature data and the humidity data, refrigeration power adjustment values and ventilation adjustment values of the plurality of carriages and generating a control instruction for controlling a temperature regulation device and a ventilation device.
