A plurality of data streams are received from a vehicle, at least one of the data streams including multimedia data. A prioritization of the data streams is performed according to one or more factors. At least one of adjusting at least one of the data streams and preventing transmission of at least one of the data streams according to the prioritization is performed.

Remote vehicle control and operation

A method and system for controllably transferring energy from a high voltage bus to a low voltage bus in a hybrid electric vehicle. A vehicle system controller controls a DC/DC converter coupled between the high voltage bus and the low voltage bus to control the transfer of energy therebetween.

Method and system for controllably transferring energy from a high voltage bus to a low voltage bus in a hybrid electric vehicle

A method for controlling a cooling arrangement for electronic components in a hybrid electric vehicle is disclosed. The method includes arranging an electronics cooling loop aboard a hybrid electric vehicle in which a DC to DC converter, DC to AC inverter, and an electronics radiator are placed in fluid communication, one with the others, for cooling the DC to DC converter and the DC to AC inverter; sensing a temperature condition in the electronics cooling loop; and discontinuing operation of the DC to DC converter when a predetermined upper threshold temperature condition is sensed in the electronics cooling loop. A voltage condition of a 12 volt battery may also be sensed, and operation of the DC to DC converter may be resumed when the voltage condition sensed falls below a predetermined lower voltage limit.

Method and arrangement for a controlling strategy for electronic components in a hybrid electric vehicle

A hybrid vehicle which includes an assembly , a low voltage battery , and a high voltage battery . Particularly, the assembly allows the on board low voltage battery or another low voltage donor battery to recharge the high voltage battery in an efficient manner while concomitantly reducing the likelihood that the high voltage battery will be unnecessarily or inadvertently recharged while concomitantly ascertaining the existence of a fault within the high voltage battery and preventing charge from being communicated to the high voltage battery when such a fault has been detected.
