System and method for battery preconditioning based on selected regenerative braking amount
An electrified vehicle includes a traction battery and a battery thermal control system. A controller is configured to receive an initial regenerative braking capability and operation the battery thermal control system to precondition the traction battery during a charge event to a temperature that corresponds to the initial regenerative braking capability such that, during a subsequent drive cycle, the regenerative braking capability is at least equal to the initial regenerative braking capability for at least a predetermined duration into the subsequent drive cycle.
Vehicle driver feedback system and corresponding method
A vehicle driver feedback system includes a control unit and a display unit. The control unit is arranged for registering a driver-influenced vehicle driving parameter and the display unit is positioned in the vehicle and arranged for displaying information to the vehicle driver. The control unit further is arranged for: iteratively calculating and storing at least one score value based on the at least one driver-influenced vehicle driving parameter, wherein the at least one score value reflects a magnitude of driver-induced energy waste; driver-induced fuel waste; driver-induced vehicle wear; unsafe driving; or a weighted combination of at least two thereof, and displaying on the display unit during driving of the vehicle a graphical score value development over time or relative to the travelled route as feedback to the vehicle driver.
Vehicle power management system
An apparatus comprising an interface, a memory and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive sensor data samples during operation of a vehicle. The memory may be configured to store the sensor data samples over a number of points in time. The processor may be configured to analyze the sensor data samples stored in the memory to detect a pattern. The processor may be configured to manage an application of brakes of the vehicle in response to the pattern.

VEHICLE FUEL EFFICIENCY SYSTEM
Methods, systems, and apparatus for improving accuracy of mobility technology. The system includes a vehicle having a fuel sensor configured to detect fuel data indicating vehicle fuel efficiency, and an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to communicate the fuel data via a transceiver. The system also includes a remote data server configured to receive the fuel data from the vehicle, determine a baseline cost associated with a transportation request, and increase or decrease the baseline cost based on the fuel data to determine an adjusted cost. The system also includes a mobile device configured to receive the adjusted cost and render a user interface including the adjusted cost.
DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device includes an acquisition unit that acquires an estimated cruising range obtained using remaining charge of a battery that supplies electric power to a traction motor of a vehicle, a first display portion that displays a gauge that, with regard to an electric mileage difference between a specific electric mileage that is an electric mileage at a particular timing during traveling of the vehicle and a reference electric mileage, changes in accordance with change in a cumulative value in which the electric mileage difference at one or more of the particular timing is accumulated, a second display portion that displays the estimated cruising range of the vehicle, and a display control unit that changes the gauge of the first display portion, and when the cumulative value is no less than a predetermined value, displays, in the second display portion, information indicating increasing the estimated cruising range.

VEHICLE DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS
In a vehicle driving assistance apparatus, an approach recognizer is configured to recognize whether a vehicle has approached an intersecting road that is a road intersecting a road of travel on which the vehicle is traveling. A road surface recognizer is configured to recognize a road surface in an image of surroundings of the vehicle captured by a camera mounted to the vehicle. An image switcher is configured to, in response to the approach recognizer recognizing that the vehicle has approached the intersecting road, determine whether the road surface recognizer has recognized a road surface of the intersecting road, and in response to the road surface recognizer recognizing the road surface of the intersecting road, switch a display image on a display device mounted to the vehicle, for displaying driving guidance for the vehicle, to an image of the intersecting road captured by the camera.
