Abstract
The disclosure is related to methods, apparatuses, and systems for launching an engine start-stop function in vehicles. A vehicle terminal may transmit to a server a traffic information acquiring instruction which carries current location information for the vehicle; receive traffic information transmitted by the server; and launch the engine start-stop function for the vehicle when the traffic information satisfies a preset condition. The server may acquire the traffic information of a road at which the vehicle is located currently after receiving the traffic information acquiring instruction and transmit the acquired traffic information to the vehicle terminal. Whether to launch the engine start-stop function may be based on the traffic information such that, for example, the engine is not stopped when the vehicle is expected to be stopped for too brief a time period.
