ELECTRIC VEHICLE PERSONAL BENEFITS ANALYZER

摘要

A benefit analysis system allows a user to compare energy consumption between a first electrified vehicle and a second vehicle. A data collector receives user driving characteristics. A parameter calculation module determines a peak parameter, a width parameter, a weigh factor, a scale factor, and a frequency parameter in response to the user driving characteristics. An analyzer is responsive to the parameters from the parameter calculation module to generate respective energy consumption results for the first and second vehicles. The analyzer represents an individual trip chain distribution as a composite function including a habitual component defined by the peak parameter and the width parameter and a non-habitual component defined by the scale factor. The composite function combines the habitual component and the non-habitual component according to the weight factor. The analyzer determines the energy consumption results in response to the individual trip chain distributions.
