Abstract
An artificial intelligence fuel management system and method that facilitates optimizing fuel management and vehicle service times for a variety of vehicle types through determining the remaining trip range for a vehicle and providing optimal routing and vehicle fueling options for a trip route involving autonomous vehicles, vehicle platoon management, and/or vehicular fuel management systems. The associated vehicles are fueled by at least one of a liquid fuel and an alternative fuel. The liquid fuel is either gasoline or diesel, and the alternative fuel is either electricity, bio-fuel, bio-alcohol, synthetic and paraffinic, steam, heat, vegetable and waste-derived oils, compressed air, liquid nitrogen, liquid petroleum gas, propane, hydrogen, ethanol, methanol, butanol, or natural gas.
