Bird has revealed its new Battery Management System, providing real-time monitoring to ensure vehicle safety and readiness.
The BMS provides real-time diagnostics that measure battery conditions like humidity levels and temperature to avoid pushing cells beyond their rated capacity. If abnormalities are detected, Bird’s operations team is notified so that they can immediately remove the vehicle from public use. The system aims to maintain safety and performance regardless of changing conditions, such as areas with inclines or declines, by continuously calculating the maximum allowable charge and discharge based on temperature, voltage and other sensor parameters.
Additionally, data capture enables Bird’s Operations and Engineering teams to analyze historical statistics, as well as monitor diagnostics and performance across large fleets of vehicles. These inputs help to identify potential issues and inform future battery and vehicle innovations and advancements.
The BMS gets more and more important in all areas of e-mobility.
