Abstract
A system for situation awareness guided energy harvesting (SAGEH) in vehicles includes a cloud computing server, and sensors capturing information about a host vehicle and remote vehicles, and their environments. The vehicles and server each have a controller that executes a SAGEH application including triggering collection of host and remote vehicle information and environmental information, continuously observing a traffic signal and traffic situation along a host vehicle path along a road segment, generating an estimate of a quantity of time for the traffic signal to change status and generating an estimated quantity of time for the host vehicle to stop at the traffic signal, in response to one or more of the estimated quantities of time, generating a control output command. The control output command causes the host vehicle to dynamically, automatically, and adaptively harvest energy by engaging one or more of a stop/start system, and a regenerative braking system.
