Apparatuses, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products for energy-based travel pathway planning

Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide for improved travel pathway generation. In the context of a method, the method includes obtaining travel pathway data defining a sequence of legs, each leg associated with a vehicle station. The method includes generating a required battery level for a vehicle traversing each leg in the sequence based on a current battery status, the travel pathway data, a vehicle station dataset, and a payload dataset. The method includes generating an estimated battery level upon arrival at each vehicle station based on the current battery status, travel pathway data, vehicle station dataset, and payload dataset. The method includes generating, based on the estimated and required battery levels and vehicle station dataset, an indication for each vehicle station representing whether to perform at that vehicle station an adjustment operation. The method further includes rendering a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising the respective indications.
