Title: David Hamilton and Vehicle Energy Routing Innovations.

Introduction

David Hamilton is an inventor associated with Corvallis, Oregon, and Oregon State University. His patent work focuses on energy-aware routing for hybrid and electric vehicles, including the use of estimated regenerative energy production to help identify preferred routes. He is associated with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Hamilton’s latest patent work includes “Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Energy Routing Tool.” The described method estimates a vehicle’s energy use across routes connecting a selected starting point and destination, including routes through intermediate points. It accounts, at least in part, for estimated regenerative energy production and uses the resulting energy estimates to select one or more preferred routes.

“Vehicle Energy Routing” also describes estimating energy utilization, including potential regenerative energy, to identify preferred routes for an electric vehicle within a route network. Together, these inventions address how route selection can account for energy consumption as well as distance or travel time.

Career Highlights

Hamilton’s patent activity reflects an emphasis on applying energy estimates to practical vehicle navigation. His work considers how route characteristics and regenerative energy may affect a vehicle’s overall energy use, with the goal of supporting more energy-informed routing decisions.
