A system and method of calculating a vehicle DTE are provided to calculate a fuel efficiency of each vehicle drive mode, and display a more accurate DTE of each drive mode. The method includes when a driver selects a drive mode and a drive distance of the selected drive mode is accumulated while a vehicle is being driven in the selected mode, collecting drive data including an accumulated drive distance of each drive mode, and fuel efficiency information of each drive mode. A final fuel efficiency of each drive mode is calculated using a drive distance of each drive mode, a consumption energy of each drive mode or a fuel efficiency of each drive mode, and a learning fuel efficiency. A DTE of each drive mode is then calculated based on the calculated final fuel efficiency of each drive mode.

Fleet management efficiency visualization

A powertrain controller of a vehicle provides a fuel pump actuator signal indicative of fuel flow to a vehicle bus. A processor is configured to receive data from the vehicle bus. The processor performs an integration of the actuator signal to accumulate fuel usage of the vehicle, and periodically sends the accumulated fuel usage, vehicle speed, engine speed, engine status, and vehicle location to a remote server. A subset of accumulated fuel usage is retrieved for a set of the vehicles of a fleet traversing a route during a timeframe, the accumulated fuel usage compiled from fuel pump actuator signals. Fuel waste is computed for identified idle time periods within the accumulated fuel usage. Monetary waste is computed from the fuel waste. A report is generated including the monetary waste.

20200158553 · 2020-05-21 ·

A method to predict time and/or distance remaining before a fluid system reaches a low fluid level includes determining a fluid level of the fluid system before execution of a fluid request command; determining an amount of time that fluid from the fluid system was spent in response to execution of the fluid request command; and determining external inputs that may affect a frequency of the fluid request command. A calculation of the risk of a low fluid level event occurring is made by inputting the current fluid level of the fluid system, the amount of time that fluid from the fluid system was being spent, and the external inputs that may affect the frequency of the fluid request command into a remaining useful fluid prediction model. A low fluid level alert is provided when the remaining useful fluid prediction model determines a low fluid event may occur.
