Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for calibrating the calculation of drive energy consumption in a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle.
- Drive energy can be consumed in particular in the form of a fuel whose combustion in the vehicle converts chemical energy into mechanical energy for driving the vehicle.
- the drive energy can also be present as electrical energy for an electric or hybrid drive.
- the invention is also aimed in particular at the calibration of the vehicle-internal calculation of a supply of drive energy present on board the vehicle.
- Each vehicle with a combustion engine can be assigned its individual fuel consumption (typically in liters per 100 km).
- the fuel consumption of a motor vehicle is usually calculated in the engine control unit with a very high level of precision: the resolution is +-0.01 L, even over long periods of time; internal calculation errors remain below 0.01%.
- the sum of the fuel mass burned over the life of the motor vehicle is typically stored in secured non-volatile memory at the end of each drive cycle. It can thus be ensured that the value of the fuel consumed calculated internally in the vehicle remains usable over the entire life of the vehicle. Nevertheless, this calculation results in significant Tolerances due to the influence of various components of a complete injection system.
- the individual fuel consumption value calculated internally for a single vehicle must correspond to a value measured for a typical vehicle model within legally regulated limits.
- the latter value is measured, for example, to determine typical C02 emissions from vehicles (in g/km) in a test called WLTC (WLTC stands for “Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle”).
- WLTC Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle
- OBFCM On Board Fuel Consumption Monitor
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
- a method for calibrating the calculation of drive energy consumption in a vehicle according to claim 1 and a computing unit set up for executing the method, a corresponding computer program and a machine-readable storage medium on which it is stored are provided according to the independent claims.
- a method for calibrating the calculation of a drive energy consumption in a vehicle is provided.
- the vehicle can in particular be a motor vehicle, but in principle it can be any land, air or water vehicle.
- the drive energy can be consumed in the vehicle in particular in the form of a fuel such as petrol, diesel or any other liquid or gaseous fuel for an internal combustion engine or for a gas drive.
- the drive energy can also include electrical energy in a vehicle with an electric or hybrid drive.
- the method includes the following steps: after each refueling or charging process of the vehicle, which leads to a complete tank filling or a full charge of the vehicle's electrical energy storage device and therefore ends with an automatic shutdown of a refueling or charging station used, a value calculated internally in the vehicle transmits a drive energy consumption since a previous refueling or charging process to a computing unit; essentially at the same time, a value calculated by this tank or charging station for a quantity of drive energy supplied to the vehicle is transmitted to the same computing unit as a reference value; the computing unit determines a correction factor for calibrating the vehicle-internal calculation of the drive energy consumption by comparing the value transmitted by the vehicle with the reference value transmitted by the tank or charging station and transmits this (in particular together with the reference value) to the vehicle; the calculation of the drive energy consumption inside the vehicle is then recalibrated using the transmitted correction factor (and possibly also the transmitted reference value).
- the term “substantially simultaneously” can in particular also mean “sufficiently timely to ensure a clear assignment of the two values in the computing unit to one another without confusing them with other refueling or charging processes of the same vehicle". In addition to a simultaneous transmission of both values, this can also, if appropriate, include time periods of, for example, a few minutes up to an hour in between.
- One idea of the present method is therefore to improve the accuracy of the vehicle-internal calculation of fuel consumption and, if necessary, also the calculation of the tank fill level by using the value of the fuel quantity refueled overnight (here as referred to as “reference value”) is compared. Since fuel pumps are calibrated, their tolerances are defined as a maximum of 0.5% across the EU. The tolerances for the in-vehicle calculation of the fuel consumption in the individual vehicle are typically about a factor of 10 larger with a maximum of +-5% compared to the tolerances of the fuel pumps (+-0.5%).
- the same process can also be applied to gas for gas drives or to electrical energy for electric or hybrid drives. Essentially, it is about including two independent data sources synchronously with each other in a calculation of the vehicle's individual drive energy consumption, in an automated way that is linked to the refueling or charging processes of the vehicle.
- the processing unit is designed as a vehicle-external central unit (such as a central server or a cloud server), the method also offers the possibility of obtaining reliable information about consumption-related properties of an entire vehicle fleet.
- the vehicle-internal calculation of a drive energy supply can be recalibrated based on the transmitted reference value and/or correction factor.
- values of the drive energy consumption and/or the drive energy reserve that are already stored in the vehicle can also be corrected.
- the accuracy of the vehicle's internal calculation for the tank fill level can be brought close to the tolerance of the fuel pump with 0.5% in the same way as for fuel consumption. This benefits the calculation of the remaining range and can, for example, create more safety on long, risky tours.
- a respective tolerance of the calculated value can be transmitted to the aforesaid computing unit or made available in advance.
- the correction factor can be determined with a weighting that is dependent on the tolerances that are transmitted or provided in each case.
- the method described here can also be carried out for each refueling or charging process that ends without an automatic shutdown of a refueling or charging station.
- the method can be implemented in a similar way for all refueling or charging processes, independently regardless of whether they end in a full tank filling or full charge of the electrical energy storage device or not.
- the automatic shutdown of the fuel or charging stations between two complete refueling or charging processes serves as a predefined reference point for the calculation
- the value of the fuel or electricity consumed calculated in the vehicle in the interval of the last full tank or charging processes is compared with the The refilled value (reference value) calculated at the tank or charging station is compared.
- partial fillings between two complete refueling or charging processes can also be taken into account, since all filling or charging quantities are included in the vehicle's internal calculation.
- the computing unit mentioned here is integrated in the vehicle (for example as part of an engine control unit, an ECU, Engine Control Unit, or VCU, Vehicle Control Unit) or connected to the vehicle via a wired interface.
- the latter can be implemented, for example, in the form of a removable diagnostic tester that can be connected via an interface provided for on-board diagnostics in the vehicle (such as the so-called OBD2 interface, which is correspondingly standardized).
- the arithmetic unit receives the values of a drive energy consumption calculated inside the vehicle from a vehicle for this purpose Trained integrated control unit of the vehicle, such as an engine control unit, ie directly or via an on-board communication system (for example, a system bus such as CAN bus, etc.) transmitted.
- the computing unit uses wireless communication (for example via Bluetooth) to establish a connection with the refueling or charging station used in each case in order to obtain the reference value from it.
- the computing unit determines the respective correction value and uses it until the next calibration for the vehicle-internal calculation of the drive energy consumption or transmits it via the vehicle's own communication system to the vehicle's integrated control unit provided for this purpose.
- the aforesaid computing unit is designed as a vehicle-external central unit (for example a central server or a cloud server or another suitable computer environment of the vehicle manufacturer or an organization authorized for this purpose).
- the vehicle-external central unit receives the vehicle-internal calculated values of the drive energy consumption from the vehicle by wireless communication (e.g. via a GSM module integrated in the vehicle, Global System for Mobile Communication) together with data intended for vehicle identification, such as e.g. B. the registration number of the vehicle.
- the tank or charging station used for the respective refueling or charging process also receives specific vehicle identification data from the vehicle or a mobile device connected to it and also transmits this together with the reference value to the vehicle-external central unit.
- the data intended for vehicle identification can be obtained, for example, by means of wireless communication, for example via Bluetooth or infrared or optical data transmission, for example by reading a QR code with a vehicle occupant’s smartphone or, conversely, with the petrol pump or with a reader when paying at the gas station.
- the vehicle-external central unit then arranges the values transmitted by the vehicle and the fuel or charging station based on the vehicle identification certain data to each other, determines the respective correction value and transmits this to the vehicle via wireless communication.
- the aforesaid computing unit is implemented (for example by means of a suitable app) in a mobile device (for example a smartphone of a vehicle occupant), which is directly wirelessly connected to the vehicle, i. H. specifically communicates with this vehicle.
- the computing unit receives the drive energy consumption values calculated inside the vehicle.
- the processing unit connects to the tank used during the refueling or charging process by wireless communication (e.g. by reading a QR code when paying or during the refueling process, IR data transmission, Bluetooth, e-mail, GSM connection and the like). - or charging station to get the reference value from it.
- the computing unit determines the respective correction value and in turn transmits this to the vehicle via the direct wireless connection.
- a computing unit which comprises a processor which is set up to carry out at least some steps of the method of the type set out herein, in particular determining the correction factor from the comparison of the value transmitted by the vehicle with that of the tank - or the reference value transmitted to the charging station.
- a computer program which comprises instructions which, when the computer program is executed in a Arithmetic unit or a computer cause this / these, at least some steps of the method of the type set out herein to execute.
- a machine-readable storage medium is provided on which such a computer program is stored.
- the present method for calibrating the fuel consumption calculated in the vehicle involves automatically comparing the corresponding data from the fuel pump with the data from the vehicle. This can be implemented, for example, as follows: At the end of each refueling process with the recognition that the tank is full, the fuel pump transmits the refilled amount of fuel to a computer environment or processing unit, and the vehicle does the same.
- the transmission can take place either directly via a data connection (e.g. via Bluetooth, GSM or another data, radio, optical or infrared transmission) between the vehicle, computing unit or computer environment and fuel pump or indirectly via a smartphone.
- Optical data transmission can be implemented, for example, by reading a QR code with a vehicle occupant's smartphone or, conversely, with the petrol pump or with a reader when paying at the petrol station. This can also be used to read out the vehicle registration number or other suitable and specific data for vehicle identification for transmission to the computer environment.
- the automatic shutdown of the fuel pump between two complete refueling processes thus serves as a defined reference point for the calculation. Furthermore, the fuel consumed in the interval between the last full tank fillings is compared with that calculated in the vehicle. Partial fillings between two complete refueling processes can be taken into account, as all filling quantities are included in the calculation. A correct fuel quantity and a correction factor are calculated for the vehicle using both fuel quantities. Since the tolerances for the in-vehicle calculation (OBFCM) and the fuel pump are known, a weighted correction can be calculated. The calculated correction factor is transmitted back to the vehicle from the computer environment. With this correction factor, the fuel consumption in the vehicle will be calculated in the future.
- OFCM in-vehicle calculation
- the internal tolerance in the vehicle is thus successively and systematically approximated from, for example, +-5% (maximum permissible tolerance for OBFCM) to +- 0.5% (tolerance for the fuel pump). Since the amount of fuel consumed in the vehicle can be calculated much more precisely using the correction factor, the tank filling level can be approximated to 0.5% of the fuel pump even after it has been partially filled.
- vehicle-specific correction for the fuel consumption calculation vehicle-specific correction for the fuel tank content (remaining range).
- Systematic tolerances in fuel consumption for the vehicle fleet according to different vehicle categories can also be recognized via a computing unit implemented by a vehicle-external central unit or a cloud application or another computer environment.
- the method can also be used for gas propulsion in the same way.
- the same functional approach can also be implemented in a similar way for vehicles with electric drives or mixed forms (hybrid drives).
- FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of an example of a method of the type set out herein for calibrating the calculation of a drive energy consumption in a vehicle
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a system designed to carry out the method of FIG. 1 according to a first embodiment, with a computing unit integrated in the vehicle;
- FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a system designed to carry out the method of FIG. 1 according to a second embodiment, with a computing unit in the form of a central computer external to the vehicle; and
- FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of a system designed to carry out the method from FIG. 1 according to a third specific embodiment, with a computing unit in a mobile device connected to the vehicle.
- FIG. 1 shows in a flow chart an example of a method of the type presented here for calibrating the calculation of a drive energy consumption in a vehicle.
- This example is a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine.
- the procedure begins with a manual or automatic activation (start) and consists of the following steps:
- a first step S1 after each refueling of the vehicle, which leads to a full tank and therefore with an automatic A fuel consumption value calculated inside the vehicle since a previous refueling process ends when a fuel pump used ends when it is switched off.
- step S2 which is carried out essentially at the same time as step S1 (e.g. a few minutes before, during or a few minutes after step S1), a value calculated by this fuel pump for a fuel quantity supplied to the vehicle is transmitted to the same computing unit as a reference value.
- the computing unit determines a correction factor for calibrating the vehicle-internal calculation of fuel consumption by comparing the value transmitted by the vehicle with the reference value transmitted by the fuel pump and transmits this (in particular together with the reference value) to the vehicle.
- step S4 the vehicle-internal calculation of the fuel consumption is recalibrated based on the transmitted correction factor (and optionally also the transmitted reference value).
- FIG. 1 The method of FIG. 1 is explained below for three different variants of a system designed to carry it out, with reference to examples shown in FIGS.
- the system comprises a vehicle 1, a fuel pump 2 (which generally changes from one fueling operation to the next) and a computing unit 3 of the type presented here.
- a fuel pump 2 which generally changes from one fueling operation to the next
- a computing unit 3 of the type presented here.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a system designed to carry out the method from FIG engine control unit, vehicle control unit (VCU), engine control unit (ECU) and the like).
- VCU vehicle control unit
- ECU engine control unit
- the procedure can be as follows, for example (variant “vehicle/fuel pump”):
- the vehicle 1 During or after a refueling process, the vehicle 1 establishes a connection directly with the fuel pump 2 and receives the data from the fuel pump 2 at the end of the fueling process, above all the reference value calculated by the fuel pump 2 for a quantity of fuel supplied to the vehicle 1 .
- the new correction values (for example reference value and correction factor) are calculated in the computing unit 3 from the data obtained from the fuel pump 2 and the values of the corresponding fuel consumption present in the vehicle 1 and applied to z. B. sent the engine control unit for appropriately corrected / calibrated in-vehicle calculation of fuel consumption.
- Fig. 3 shows a block diagram of a system designed to carry out the method of Fig. 1 according to a second embodiment, with a computing unit 3 in the form of a central computer external to the vehicle, which in this example is in a cloud 4 of a company authorized to carry out the present method or organization is provided.
- This example illustrates the possibility of largely outsourcing the function described here to the cloud 4.
- the reference values calculated by the fuel pump 2 used in each case must be compared with those calculated by the vehicle 1 values are viewed synchronously.
- the vehicle 1 and the fuel pump 2 also transmit data intended for vehicle identification, for example the license plate number of the vehicle 1 and the like, together with the values mentioned.
- the procedure can be as follows, for example (“cloud/fuel pump” variant):
- the fuel pump 2 and the vehicle 1 report their respective data to the cloud 4.
- the calculations are carried out in the cloud 4 and then the new correction values (e.g. reference value and correction factor) for the fuel consumption and tank level are sent back to the vehicle 1.
- Advantages over a vehicle-bound computing unit 3 can be as follows with a cloud application according to FIG. Rather, authorized third parties such as vehicle manufacturers and/or the authorities can also receive the corresponding data for fleet consumption, tolerances and the like from the cloud 4; regional anomalies, for example regarding unusually high fuel consumption in certain regions due to adulterated (“adulterated”) fuel, can also be systematically identified.
- FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of a system designed to carry out the method from FIG. e.g. smartphone 5.
- the procedure can be as follows (variant “smartphone/fuel pump”):
- Many smartphones 5 belonging to vehicle occupants are connected to the vehicle 1 via Bluetooth, for example, and can also be used to pay the fuel bill with an app. At the same time, the fuel quantity can be increased over z.
- a suitable app on the smartphone can calculate the new correction values (e.g. reference value and correction factor) and the exact tank level and send them back to vehicle 1 via Bluetooth.
