Filed:

Feb 28, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/289635

Inventors:

- Plymouth MI, US
Gerti Tuzi - Plymouth MI, US
Michael Makowski - Plymouth MI, US
Naren Reddy Dhansri - Plymouth MI, US
Nabil H K Hirzallah - Plymouth MI, US

International Classification:

B60W 20/11
B60W 10/10
B60W 40/105
B60W 40/04
B60W 40/06

Abstract:

Ground vehicle control techniques adapted to reduce energy consumption, braking, shifting, travel distance, travel time, and or the like. The techniques can generate a target speed window and a target vehicle performance plan for controlling operation of a ground vehicle along a current and one or more upcoming segments of a roadway responsive to the dynamic driving environment.

International Classification:

G06N 20/00
B60W 30/14
B60W 50/00

Abstract:

Reinforcement learning based ground vehicle control techniques adapted to reduce energy consumption, braking, shifting, travel distance, travel time, and or the like. The reinforcement learning techniques can include training a reinforcement learning controller based on a simulated ground vehicle environment during a simulation mode, and then further training the reinforcement learning controller based on a ground vehicle environment during an operating mode of a ground vehicle.

International Classification:

G06N 20/00
B60W 50/00
B60W 30/14

Abstract:

A ground vehicle control system including a plurality of sensors and one or more predictive controllers. The sensors can be configured to detect environment information and vehicle operating information. The one or more predictive controllers can be configured to self-train for an energy consumption solution based on one or more control parameters including the environment information and the vehicle operating information.
