Abstract: An apparatus includes a control circuit. The control circuit is structured to interpret condition data indicative of an external operating condition of a vehicle, determine an operating parameter of the vehicle based on an actuator response of an actuator of the vehicle, compare the operating parameter to an operating parameter threshold where the operating parameter threshold is based on the external operating condition, and remap an actuator response map of the actuator based on the comparison indicating that the operating parameter does not satisfy the operating parameter threshold. The operating parameter includes at least one of a fuel economy value, an emissions value, an acceleration value, a braking value, or a wear value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for triggering and issuing safety warnings, including a risk-assessment system that collects movement data pertaining to each of a plurality of subsystems including one or more slow-moving subsystems (SMSSs) and/or one or more fast-moving subsystems (FMSSs). The risk-assessment system identifies, based at least in part on the collected movement data, an instance in which each of a set of warning-triggering conditions is true. The set includes (i) that a likelihood of a collision occurring among an identified subset of the plurality of subsystems is greater than a collision-probability threshold and (ii) that at least one of the subsystems in the identified subset has at least one current movement anomaly. In response to identifying the instance, the risk-assessment system issues at least one warning to at least one of the subsystems in the identified subset.

Abstract: A method includes operating a spark ignition engine and flowing low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) from an exhaust to an inlet of the spark ignition engine. The method includes interpreting a parameter affecting an operation of the spark ignition engine, and determining a knock index value in response to the parameter. The method further includes reducing a likelihood of engine knock in response to the knock index value exceeding a knock threshold value.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an initial planning module, a tandem implementation module, and a scheduler module. The initial planning module is structured to interpret one or more fleet delivery requirements, assets, drivers, and vehicle descriptions. The tandem implementation module is structured to determine a travel schedule with respect to a first vehicle and a second vehicle that enables the first vehicle and the second vehicle to travel in tandem for a least a portion of a route in response to input from the initial planning module. The scheduler module is structured to provide a fleet delivery schedule to the first vehicle and the second vehicle in response to the determination of the tandem implementation module.

Abstract: A method for controlling aftertreatment regeneration for a system having a hybrid powertrain is described. The method includes determining that an engine aftertreatment regeneration is indicated when a regeneration request index exceeds a first threshold. The method includes determining an acceptable battery usage amount based on a current battery state of charge (SOC) and a minimum battery SOC. The method further includes determining a battery usage amount for an engine aftertreatment regeneration operation. The method includes initiating an engine aftertreatment regeneration when the battery usage amount is less than or equal to the acceptable battery usage amount.
