Title: Jacob A. McGivern and Vehicle Driving-Range Estimation
Introduction
Jacob A. McGivern is an inventor associated with White Lake, Michigan, and General Motors Global Technology Operations, Inc. His patent work includes a system and method for estimating a vehicle’s driving range using torque input and measured acceleration.
Latest Patents
McGivern is credited with 1 patent: “System and Method of Driving Range Estimation Based on a Torque Input and Vehicle Including the Same.” The method calculates a vehicle’s torque-to-acceleration ratio after the vehicle shifts out of park and begins driving. It compares that ratio with stored averages and, when needed, estimates energy efficiency using the closest available ratios. The system then calculates and displays the driving-range estimate, updates it as the vehicle is driven, and stores the associated energy-efficiency information.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects work on vehicle energy-efficiency estimation and the presentation of driving-range information. By using measured vehicle behavior, the method can adapt its estimate to observed torque and acceleration.
Collaborations
McGivern’s listed coworkers include Richard B. Weinberg and Nhat Minh Nguyen. The patent is associated with General Motors Global Technology Operations, Inc.
Conclusion
Jacob A. McGivern’s patent contribution focuses on estimating and updating vehicle driving range from torque and acceleration data.
