Abstract
The Sentience programme seeks to show the effectiveness of an enhanced powertrain control system that utilises geographical and situational awareness to improve fuel efficiency and emissions. The concept is to utilise information about impending events (e.g. road topology) to optimise the efficiency of vehicle systems. This paper will explain the motivation for the development of Sentience, the project objectives and the direction in which the project is expected to progress.
