Mobile energy delivery management
View Patent ↗An example operation includes one or more of providing, by a battery of a vehicle, energy to a location, departing, by the vehicle, when a condition at the location is above or below a threshold, receiving a charge at the battery of the vehicle, from a charging station until the condition is at the threshold, and returning, by the vehicle, to the location when the condition is at the threshold and a capacity of the battery is above a level.
1. A method, comprising:
determining by a processor associated with a vehicle that a condition at a location exceeds a threshold level;
in response to the condition being determined, controlling a battery of the vehicle by the processor to provide energy to the location;
determining by the processor that an amount of energy contained by the battery has decreased below a threshold energy level battery capacity;
in response to the amount of energy contained by the battery being determined, controlling the vehicle to maneuver to a charging location to receive an amount of energy;
in response to determining by the processor that the amount of energy contained by the battery has increased above the threshold energy level battery capacity or the condition at the location has decreased below the threshold level, controlling the vehicle by the processor to maneuver back to the location; and
controlling another vehicle by the processor to provide energy to the location when the vehicle maneuvers to the charging location.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amount of energy is sufficient to decrease the condition below the threshold level.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amount of energy received from the charging location is greater than:
an amount of energy required to maneuver the vehicle from the location to the charging location and from the charging location to the location.
4. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
calculating an amount of time to receive the amount of energy based on one or more of:
a weather condition, a road condition, or a traffic condition on a path to the charging location from the location.
5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
notifying another vehicle to provide energy to the location when the vehicle is unable to return from the charging location before the condition exceeds the threshold level.
6. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
disengaging the battery from the location before the vehicle being controlled to maneuver to the charging location; and
reengaging the battery and reconnecting the battery to the location when the vehicle returns to the location.
7. A system, comprising:
a processor associated with a vehicle; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to:
determine that a condition at a location exceeds a threshold level;
in response to the condition being determined, controlling a battery of the vehicle by the processor to provide energy to the location;
in response to the amount of energy contained by the battery being determined, control the vehicle to maneuver to a charging location to receive an amount of energy;
in response to a determination that the amount of energy contained by the battery has increased above the threshold energy level battery capacity or the condition at the location has decreased below the threshold level, control the vehicle to maneuver back to the location; and
control another vehicle to provide energy to the location when the vehicle maneuvers to the charging location.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the amount of energy is sufficient to decrease the condition below the threshold level.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the amount of energy received from the charging location is greater than:
an amount of energy required to maneuver the vehicle from the location to the charging location and from the charging location to the location.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
calculate an amount of time to receive the amount of energy based on one or more of:
a weather condition, a road condition, or a traffic condition on a path to the charging location from the location.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
notify another vehicle to provide energy to the location when the vehicle is unable to return from the charging location before the condition exceeds the threshold level.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
disengage the battery from the location before the vehicle being controlled to maneuver to the charging location; and
reengage the battery and reconnect the battery to the location when the vehicle returns to the location.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor associated with a vehicle, cause the processor to perform:
determining that a condition at a location exceeds a threshold level;
in response to the condition being determined, controlling a battery of the vehicle by the processor to provide energy to the location;
in response to the amount of energy contained by the battery being determined, controlling the vehicle to maneuver to a charging location to receive an amount of energy;
in response to determining by the processor that the amount of energy contained by the battery has increased above the threshold energy level battery capacity or the condition at the location has decreased below the threshold level, controlling the vehicle to maneuver back to the location; and
controlling another vehicle to provide energy to the location when the vehicle maneuvers to the charging location.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the amount of energy is sufficient to decrease the condition below the threshold level.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the amount of energy received from the charging location is greater than:
an amount of energy required to maneuver the vehicle from the location to the charging location and from the charging location to the location.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
calculating an amount of time to receive the amount of energy based on one or more of:
a weather condition, a road condition, or a traffic condition on a path to the charging location from the location.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
disengaging the battery from the location before the vehicle being controlled to maneuver to the charging location; and
reengaging the battery and reconnecting the battery to the location when the vehicle returns to the location.
