    Abstract: A method for vehicle route selection includes identifying a plurality of routes based on a current location of a vehicle and a destination location. The method also includes determining an energy cost for each of the plurality of routes. The method also includes determining a time cost for each of the plurality of routes. The method also includes determining a total cost for each of the plurality of routes using the energy cost and the time cost for each respective route of the plurality of routes. The method also includes providing, to an occupant of the vehicle, the plurality of routes and the total cost for each respective route of the plurality of routes.

    Abstract: A system includes an exhaust system fluidly configured to define an exhaust stream. A sensor is arranged in the exhaust system and is configured to be exposed to the exhaust stream and accumulate particulate matter on the sensor. The sensor provides a signal that varies based upon an amount of particulate matter on the sensor. A control system is in communication with the sensor. The control system includes a controller configured to calculate a differential of a conductance signal related to the signal, compare consecutive differentials to identify an erroneous differential in an abnormal signal based upon an anomaly relating to the accumulation of the particulate matter, and reconstruct the abnormal signal by correcting the erroneous differential to produce a corrected, decimated conductance signal. The control system is configured to determine a total accumulated particulate matter adjusted for the anomaly.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a propulsion system inverter includes identifying at least one route characteristic of a portion of a route being traversed by a vehicle. The method further includes Receiving at least one inverter characteristic. The method further includes generating a target thermal profile of the propulsion system inverter corresponding to thermal fatigue associated with the at least one thermal characteristic. The method further includes generating a signal to selectively instruct the adjustment of at least one of the vehicle speed control input, a torque demand corresponding to the vehicle speed control input, and the portion of the route based on the target thermal profile of the propulsion system inverter to improve inverter life.
