SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING TRIP USE FOR A PROSPECTIVE VEHICLE

Abstract:

Systems and methods for estimating trip use for a prospective vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving trip log data for a first vehicle. The trip log data includes vehicle data associated with driving conditions for a plurality of trips. The method also includes identifying a pattern of travel for a set of trips of the plurality of trips. The trips of the set of trips are traveled from an origin to a destination. A trip of the set of trips has a path distance between the origin and the destination that exceeds a distance threshold. The method further includes calculating a predictive range estimate for a second vehicle for travel between the origin and the destination based on the path distance and the driving conditions associated with the set of trips.
