Abstract

A method for controller vehicle propulsion. The method includes identifying at least one route characteristic of a portion of a most probable path, determining a vehicle energy consumption profile for a vehicle based on at least historical data indicating energy consumption of the vehicle for at least a portion of a route previously traversed by the vehicle having at least one route characteristic corresponding to the at least one route characteristic of the portion of the most probable path, and determining, for the most probable path, a route energy consumption profile based on the at least one route characteristic of the portion of the most probable path and the vehicle energy consumption profile. The method also includes determining a target vehicle speed profile based on the at least one route characteristic and the vehicle energy consumption profile and selectively controlling vehicle propulsion based on the target vehicle speed profile.
