    Abstract: An engine system includes an internal combustion engine including an intake manifold having an inlet, variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) including a mechanical compressor having a mechanical compressor outlet fluidically connected to the intake manifold and a turbine, and an electric compressor including an electric compressor outlet fluidically connected to the intake manifold. A first sensor is arranged to detect a first fluid pressure value at the mechanical compressor outlet. A second sensor is arranged to detect a second fluid pressure value at the inlet of the intake manifold. A controller is operatively connected to first sensor and the second sensor. The controller is operable to adjust operation of at least one of the VGT and the electric compressor when one of the first fluid pressure value and the second fluid pressure value reaches a selected value.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling an aftertreatment system of a vehicle. A system operating mode is determined for an aftertreatment device having an electrical heating element. A weighting coefficient is set based on the determined system operating mode. An optimized electrical heat input and an optimized engine heat input are determined based on the weighting coefficient. The aftertreatment device is then controlled to a target temperature based on the optimized electrical heat input and the optimized engine heat input.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling an electrically-heated catalyst system of a vehicle. A method includes that a power request is received. The method includes determining whether to use a high power voltage net or a low power voltage net based upon the received power request. The electrically-heated catalyst system is controlled using the determined high power voltage net or the low power voltage net.

    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method of controlling an emissions control system for treating exhaust gas in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine. The emissions control system includes an electric diesel oxidation catalyst (eDOC) device having an electric heating element, disposed in a stream of the exhaust gas, a temperature sensor disposed at the eDOC device and configured to detect a temperature of the exhaust gas, and a controller that is configured to perform a model based control of the eDOC device based on a dual nested closed loop topology having an inner closed loop control and an outer closed loop control. The inner closed loop control is configured to control the power required for the eDOC device and outer closed loop control is configured to control the temperature of the eDOC device.

    Abstract: Provided are methods for warming up a vehicle exhaust treatment system prior to an engine start, wherein the vehicle includes an internal combustion engine (ICE), a supercharger capable of delivering air to an ICE intake, an exhaust gas treatment system including an exhaust gas treatment device and an upstream electric heating device and capable of accepting exhaust gas from the ICE, and optionally a turbocharger having a turbine in fluid communication with the exhaust gas treatment system. Methods include establishing fluid communication between the supercharger and the exhaust gas treatment system, engaging the supercharger to communicate air to the exhaust gas treatment system via the supercharger, and engaging the heating device. The method can further comprise reducing turbine resistance by reducing the power position of the turbine or opening a wastegate. The methods can further include first satisfying a start condition, and/or subsequently detecting a termination condition.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of controlling an automatic engine stop of an automotive system, during a coasting phase. A dynamic speed threshold is calculated as a minimum value of a plurality of dynamic speed values. Each dynamic speed value is calculated as a function of an automotive system parameter such as a steering wheel angle, a steering wheel angle rate, a wheel speed difference, an antilock braking system status, or an electronic stability control status (p5) and/or a road condition such as road grade. The automatic engine stop is enabled when a vehicle speed is lower than the dynamic speed threshold.
