20120143449, Jun 7, 2012

Filed:

Dec 7, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/313403

Inventors:

David Charles Chauncey - Fairport NY, US
Edward Charles McCarthy - Pittsford NY, US
Peter Joseph Roth - Fairport NY, US
Nicholas Allen Elliott - Pittsford NY, US

Assignee:

VNOMICS CORP. - Pittsford NY

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

701 51

Abstract:

One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to improve the usage of various gears. One way to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to suboptimal gear shifting is to compare the actual gear used for various driving conditions with the optimal gear used. Such comparisons may be combined with determinations of amount of fuel used to determine how much fuel has been lost due to suboptimal shifting. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.

Inventors:

- Pittsford NY, US
Edward Charles McCarthy - Pittsford NY, US
Peter Joseph Roth - Fairport NY, US
Nicholas Allen Elliott - Pittsford NY, US

International Classification:

B60W 40/09
B60R 16/023

B60R 1/00
G07C 5/08
B60K 35/00

Abstract:

One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to detect the vehicle operational shortcomings related to fuel consumption by determining whether fuel used during operation of the vehicle is normal fuel use or wasted fuel use. Considerations of idling, speeding and inappropriate gear shifts are some ways to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to operator shortcomings. Communicating this information to the operator in real-time so adjustments can be made will improve vehicle fuel efficiency. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.
