The invention relates to a motor vehicle (1), comprising an internal combustion engine (110), which has a plurality of changeable control variables, a first sensor device (210a, 210b, 210c), which is provided for sensing a vehicle- and/or surroundings- and/or environment-related state parameter and providing a data value that represents said state parameter, a setting device (220), which can change one of the changeable control variables of the internal combustion engine (110), a control device (200), which is designed to process the data values of the first sensor device and to transmit a signal to the setting device, wherein the control device is provided for receiving and processing the provided vehicle- and/or surroundings- and/or environment-related state parameter, determining a state model while taking into account said state parameters, calculating a vehicle behavior prediction from the state model, creating an emission prediction from the vehicle behavior prediction, evaluating the emission prediction on the basis of specified criteria, and deriving, on the basis of the emission prediction, a control value or control set for controlling the setting device.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a thermal management system and method that can recommend operational behavior to an operator of an engine system to optimize fuel economy over a period of time in which a components of the engine system is in a warm up and/or regeneration state. In one representative embodiment, the expected temperature change of the engine component at a later time is determined based on inefficient operation of the engine, such as a transmission down shift resulting in higher engine speed and lower engine torque, and the expected temperature change of the engine component resulting from operating the engine under current conditions or expected conditions at that later time is determined. A determination is made as to whether the inefficient engine operation is the optimal operation in view of fuel economy and a recommendation is generated for the operator based if optimal operation is determined.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method and system for collection of exhaust emissions installed in vehicles and disposal thereof, based on pollution conditions of the surrounding environment, said conditions identified either from sensors installed on the vehicles themselves, or by means of an external service, e.g. the Internet, cloud service, etc.
Abstract:
An object is to provide an exhaust-gas purification device that is capable of uniformly mixing exhaust gas and a reduction agent together without being affected by the routing of an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine. An exhaust-gas purification device (1) includes an urea water injection nozzle (2) that is provided inside an exhaust pipe (14) and a catalyst reactor (12) that is provided on a downstream side of the urea water injection nozzle, and is configured to inject urea water from the urea water injection nozzle (2) into exhaust gas of an engine (18) and to reduce nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas by a NOx catalyst (13) contained in the catalyst reactor (12), where the urea water injection nozzle is disposed in such a way as to inject the urea water from the axial center of the exhaust pipe toward the downstream side of the flow direction of the exhaust gas, and a mixer (11) is connected to an upstream end of the catalyst reactor, the mixer having a plurality of plate members (11b) radially disposed around the axial center of the exhaust pipe, the plate members each being formed in such a way that angles of plate surfaces (A, B) of the plate member to the flow direction of the exhaust gas are different values on the upstream side and the downstream side.
Abstract:
A travel controller (10) is configured to carry out acceleration suppression control of suppressing acceleration of a vehicle (V) depending on an accelerator manipulation amount based on a parking frame (LO) existing ahead in a driven direction of the vehicle (V). Then, the travel controller (10) is configured to gradually release the acceleration suppression control when detecting that the vehicle V is in a stop state while carrying out the acceleration suppression control. In addition, the travel controller (10) is configured to hold a release state of the acceleration suppression control at the time of detection of the travel state, when the travel state detector detects that the vehicle (V) is in a travel state while releasing the acceleration suppression control.

Further, the invention pertains to a computer program, a computer program product, a system and a motor vehicle comprising such a system.
Abstract:
A method for a more efficient use of a vehicle combustion engine during driving, the vehicle including an automatic step geared transmission. The method includes the steps of sensing current engine rotational speed and engine rotational speed increase, estimating necessary minimum upshift engine rotational speed for a coming gear upshift, registering that the engine rotational speed stops increasing without reaching the minimum upshift engine rotational speed, and where the engine rotational speed stops increasing relatively close to a maximum engine rotational speed where engine efficiency is relatively low and, automatically controlling engine output torque in order to limit the engine rotational speed to a first predetermined engine speed where engine efficiency is relatively high.
