    摘要: A vehicle fleet control system having a vehicle fleet having at least two autonomous vehicles, and a control unit configured to control the autonomous vehicles. The control unit is configured to assign a priority status to each autonomous vehicle in the fleet, and calculate a travel route for each autonomous vehicle in the fleet on a basis of the assigned priority status. For autonomous vehicles having a same point of departure and a same point of destination, the control unit is configured to control the autonomous vehicle in the fleet having a greatest priority status down a calculated route that facilitates reaching a point of destination more rapidly than other autonomous vehicles in the fleet.

    摘要: A hybrid vehicle and method for operating such a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, an electric machine, an electric storage device, and a control system. The method includes determining a power currently available of the electric storage device by the control system when a current state of charge of the electric storage device is less than a charge threshold value; activating the internal combustion engine when the determined power currently available from the electric storage device exceeds a first power threshold; and determining the power currently available from the electric storage device by the control system when the determined power currently available from the electric storage device is less than the first power threshold.
