Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for providing vehicle information, a device and a storage medium for implementing the method. The method includes: acquiring a first time period expected for a first vehicle to wait before supplement of energy for the first vehicle is to be commenced; determining a second time period expected to be required during the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on an amount of the energy to be supplemented for the first vehicle; determining a third time period expected to require for completing the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on the first time period and the second time period; and providing the third time period.

Claims (51)

1. A method for providing vehicle information, comprising:

in response to determining that a first vehicle is located in a predetermined area of an energy supplement station, acquiring by a vehicle computing device communicatively coupled to the first vehicle, a first time period expected for the first vehicle to wait from the energy supplement station before supplement of energy for the first vehicle is to be commenced;

determining by the vehicle computing device, a second time period expected to be required during the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on an amount of the energy to be supplemented for the first vehicle;

determining by the vehicle computing device, a third time period expected to be required for completing the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on the first time period and the second time period; and

providing by the vehicle computing device, the third time period to a second vehicle behind the first vehicle and/or the energy supplement station;

wherein the first time period is determined based on a historic average time consumption of a third vehicle in the energy supplement station, in which the third vehicle has a type of energy same as the first vehicle; and/or time consumption expected for supplementing energy of a vehicle in front of a current position of the first vehicle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, acquiring the first time period comprises:

determining whether the first vehicle is in an energy-supplement waiting state; and

in response to determining that the first vehicle is in the energy-supplement waiting state, receiving the first time period from the energy supplement station.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a target energy supplement device matched the first vehicle from at least one energy supplement device in the energy supplement station.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

determining a driving path from the first vehicle to the target energy supplement device; and

controlling the first vehicle to drive to a target position in the vicinity of the target energy supplement device for supplementing the energy based on the driving path.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

acquiring an instruction from a personnel external to the first vehicle; and

controlling the first vehicle to drive to a target position in the vicinity of the target energy supplement device for supplementing the energy based on the instruction.

6. An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory for storing one or more programs;

wherein when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors are caused to perform:

in response to determining that a first vehicle is located in a predetermined area of an energy supplement station, acquiring a first time period expected for the first vehicle to wait from the energy supplement station before supplement of energy for the first vehicle is to be commenced;

determining a second time period expected to be required during the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on an amount of the energy to be supplemented for the first vehicle;

determining a third time period expected to be required for completing the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on the first time period and the second time period; and

providing the third time period to a second vehicle behind the first vehicle and/or the energy supplement station;

wherein the first time period is determined based on a historic average time consumption of a third vehicle in the energy supplement station, in which the third vehicle has a type of energy same as the first vehicle; and/or time consumption expected for supplementing energy of a vehicle in front of a current position of the first vehicle.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein, acquiring the first time period comprises:

determining whether the first vehicle is in an energy-supplement waiting state; and

in response to determining that the first vehicle is in the energy-supplement waiting state, receiving the first time period from the energy supplement station.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are caused to perform:

determining a target energy supplement device matched the first vehicle from at least one energy supplement device in the energy supplement station.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are caused to perform:

determining a driving path from the first vehicle to the target energy supplement device; and

controlling the first vehicle to drive to a target position in the vicinity of the target energy supplement device for supplementing the energy based on the driving path.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are caused to perform:

acquiring an instruction from a personnel external to the first vehicle; and

controlling the first vehicle to drive to a target position in the vicinity of the target energy supplement device for supplementing the energy based on the instruction.

11. A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein, when the computer program is executed by a processor, the processor performs the method for providing vehicle information, comprising:

in response to determining that a first vehicle is located in a predetermined area of an energy supplement station, acquiring the first time period expected to wait from the energy supplement station before supplement of energy for a first vehicle;

determining a second time period expected to re quire during the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on an amount of the energy to be supplemented for the first vehicle;

determining a third time period expected to require for completing the supplement of the energy for the first vehicle based on the first time period and the second time period; and

providing the third time period to a second vehicle behind the first vehicle and/or the energy supplement station;

wherein the first time period is determined based on a historic average time consumption of a third vehicle in the energy supplement station, in which the third vehicle has a type of energy same as the first vehicle; and/or time consumption expected for supplementing energy of a vehicle in front of a current position of the first vehicle.

12. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein, acquiring the first time period comprises:

determining whether the first vehicle is in an energy-supplement waiting state; and

in response to determining that the first vehicle is in the energy-supplement waiting state, receiving the first time period from the energy supplement station.

13. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining a target energy supplement device matched the first vehicle from at least one energy supplement device in the energy supplement station.

14. The storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining a driving path from the first vehicle to the target energy supplement device; and

controlling the first vehicle to drive to a target position in the vicinity of the target energy supplement device for supplementing the energy based on the driving path.
