Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus for guiding a mobile transportation means of a set of transportation means to a selected reconditioning station of a set of reconditioning stations, comprising determining a position of the battery, determining a condition of the battery, forecasting a consumption characteristic of the transportation means, evaluating an achievable range of mobility of the transportation means, assigning the selected reconditioning station of the set of reconditioning stations, which is located within the range of mobility of the transportation means along a path to a desired target and guiding the transportation means to the selected reconditioning station, an optimization of the assignment and/or the path is executed by a search algorithm for assigning the set of transportation means to the set of reconditioning stations and batteries, based on actual and/or forecasted information about multiple entities of the sets of transportation means, stations and batteries as well as their conditions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for guiding a mobile transportation means of a set of transportation means, to a selected reconditioning station of a set of reconditioning stations which transportation means have each associated a powering battery of a set of batteries, in a geographically distributed arrangement of the transportation means and the reconditioning stations, comprising the steps of: determining a position of the battery; determining a condition of the battery; f…
