Abstract: A method for managing emissions from a vehicle having an aftertreatment system is provided. The method includes: receiving, by a controller, information indicative of a temperature of an aftertreatment system of the vehicle and a power output of an engine of the vehicle; comparing, by the controller, the temperature of the aftertreatment system to a temperature threshold; comparing, by the controller, the power output to a power output threshold; and responsive to the comparisons, commanding, by the controller, an aftertreatment system heater to selectively engage and disengage to warm the aftertreatment system of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus include a controller structured to predict a change in speed of a vehicle in advance of upcoming terrain and inhibit a coasting event if the speed exceeds a limit. In one form a velocity of the vehicle is predicted using a physics based model of the vehicle within a look ahead window in front of a vehicle. Such a look ahead window can be distance or time based. In another, speed of a vehicle is monitored during a coasting event and is compared against a threshold to determine whether to remain coasting or re-engage an engine to a driveline. The threshold is a function of road grade, and permits a larger deviation from set speed at low grade than at high grade. The function can be based on road grade and vehicle weight.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a vehicle locator circuit that is structured to receive GPS signal coordinates and a road parameter associated with the GPS signal coordinates. The vehicle locator circuit is further structured to identify a current road segment associated with the GPS coordinates. A map data circuit is structured to store the road parameter and GPS signal coordinates associated with the current road segment. A route response circuit is structured to determine look-ahead parameters characterizing a future road segment based on input received from the vehicle locator circuit and the map data circuit, and a communication interface is structured to communicate the look-ahead parameters to an engine control module for improving vehicle performance during travel on the future road segment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a powertrain power management in a vehicle with an electric motor, and an engine are disclosed. The methods and systems involve a powertrain that is operatively coupled to the engine and the electric motor, and an optimizer module operatively coupled to the powertrain. The optimizer module receives an operator information to travel a route from a remote management module, receives current route information for the route from a mapping application in response to the operator information, measures current vehicle status information for the hybrid vehicle, and decides a power management strategy for the vehicle based on the current route information and the current vehicle status information.
