Methods and systems for a powertrain power management in a vehicle with an electric motor, and an engine are disclosed. The methods and systems involve a powertrain that is operatively coupled to the engine and the electric motor, and an optimizer module operatively coupled to the powertrain. The optimizer module receives an operator information to travel a route from a remote management module, receives current route information for the route from a mapping application in response to the operator information, measures current vehicle status information for the hybrid vehicle, and decides a power management strategy for the vehicle based on the current route information and the current vehicle status information.

An incentive granting system grants an incentive to CO.sub.2 reduction traveling by a user of the vehicle that directly or indirectly emits CO.sub.2. The incentive granting system includes one or more processors, and is configured to grant a reward point to the user, in the vehicle traveling from a current location to a destination, based on at least one of selection of a traveling route in which a CO.sub.2 emission amount is reduced with respect to a standard traveling route, selection of a traveling mode, and reduction of an actual CO.sub.2 emission amount with respect to a standard CO.sub.2 emission amount.

A voltage controlled aircraft electric propulsion system includes an electric propulsion system. The voltage controlled aircraft electric propulsion system may include electric propulsors providing thrust for the aircraft. In hybrid systems, a gas turbine engine may also be included. The electric propulsion system may include at least one electric generator power source, at least one propulsor motor load, and at least one stored energy power source, such as a battery. The propulsor motor load may be supplied power from a power supply bus. The voltage of the power supply bus may be adjusted according to an altitude of the aircraft while maintaining a substantially constant current flow to the propulsor motor load. Due to the adjustment to lower voltages at increased altitude, insulations levels may be lower.

An autonomous vehicle that can perform limp home control for causing a vehicle to autonomously take refuge includes an ECU configured to perform the limp home control, limp-home usable sensors configured to detect an external environment of the autonomous vehicle, the limp-home usable sensors being used for the limp home control and being connected to the ECU, limp-home unusable sensors configured to detect the external environment of the autonomous vehicle, the limp-home unusable sensors being sensors not used for the limp home control, and a limp home battery connected to the ECU and the limp-home usable sensors but not connected to the limp-home unusable sensors.

A transport robot may include a wheel driver, a power supply, and a processor. The transport robot may execute artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and/or machine learning algorithms, and may communicate with other electronic devices in a 5G communication environment. Thus, user convenience can be improved.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling a hybrid powertrain of a hybrid vehicle, and may include: determining a value of a drive request for a combustion engine of the hybrid vehicle; determining electrical loading on batteries of the hybrid vehicle; adjusting operation of an accessory of the hybrid vehicle to reduce the electrical load of that accessory on the batteries of the hybrid vehicle when the drive request value is above a determined drive request threshold amount and the electrical loading on batteries of the hybrid vehicle is above a power loading threshold; and directing at least some of the power saved by adjusting operation of the accessory from the batteries of the hybrid vehicle to a drive motor of the hybrid vehicle to provide motive force for the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a power supplier, a junction block configured to supply power from the power supplier, an integrated central control unit configured to receive the power from the junction block, a controller configured to be receive the power through the integrated central control unit and to control at least one load unit of the vehicle, and a control unit configured to identify a power failure location of the vehicle and to determine a power supply method of the junction block during an autonomous driving of the vehicle, based on power monitoring information of each of the integrated central control unit, the junction block, and the controller and predetermined condition information, the predetermined condition information including power supply state information and power supply method information of each load unit corresponding to each of a plurality of pieces of power failure location information.

A system includes a battery, an engine, and a processor. The processor is configured to plan, according to a model, an activation action of the engine of a vehicle for a next road segment subsequent to a current road segment; and activate, for the next road segment, the engine according to the activation action. The model includes a state space that includes a navigation map, which includes the current road segment of the vehicle, a current charge level of the battery, and whether the engine is currently on or off. The activation action is selected from a set comprising a first action to turn on the engine to charge the battery and a second action to turn off the engine.

An electrical system in a vehicle has a battery is configured to supply electrical current when a driver ignition key is in a Key-Off state. A. A plurality of electrical loads are each configurable to receive the electrical current flowing from the battery during the Key-Off state depending upon predetermined Key-Off-Load (KOL) Modes. A vehicle locator determines a geographic location of the vehicle. A sleep-time database records daily Key-On and Key-Off events according to changes between the Key-On state and the Key-Off state, wherein each Key-Off event is associated with a respective geographic location from the vehicle locator. An analyzer identifies Key-Off events sharing a repetitive time span and a common geographic location. A scheduler activates a timed KOL sequence according to the identified Key-Off events so that repetitive time slots of vehicle usage can be used to reduce battery drain during times when vehicle usage is less likely.
