A system for operating a vehicle including an engine operating on at least one type of fuel is provided. The system includes a locator element to determine a location of the vehicle, a characterization element to provide information about a terrain of the vehicle, a database to store characteristic information for each type of fuel, and a processor operable to receive information from the locator element, the characterization element, and the database. An algorithm is embodied within the processor with access to the information for creating a trip plan that optimizes performance of the vehicle in accordance with one or more operational criteria for the vehicle.

L'invention concerne un système d'actionnement d'un véhicule qui comprend un moteur fonctionnant à au moins un type de carburant. Le système comprend un élément d'emplacement pour déterminer un emplacement du véhicule, un élément de caractérisation pour fournir des informations sur un terrain du véhicule, une base de données pour stocker des informations caractéristiques pour chaque type de carburant, et un processeur opérationnel pour recevoir des informations de l'élément d'emplacement, de l'élément de caractérisation et de la base de données. Un algorithme est intégré dans le processeur avec accès aux informations pour créer un plan de voyage qui optimise la performance du véhicule selon un ou plusieurs critères opérationnels du véhicule.
