Abstract: A system is provided for performing an automated power charging process for one or more electric vehicles using a processor. Included in the processor is a charge controller that calculates a capacity of a power grid system by communicating with the power grid system via a network, and a power demand level of the one or more electric vehicles to satisfy one or more mission requirements of each electric vehicle. The power demand level of the one or more electric vehicles is compared with the capacity of the power grid system. In response to the comparison, at least one charging mode is selected from an override mode and an internal combustion engine mode for performing the automated power charging process. The charge controller automatically charges the one or more electric vehicles based on the selected at least one charging mode.

Abstract: A method for operating one or more processors to control access of a plurality of pieces of rechargeable electrical equipment, optionally including one or more electric vehicles, to one or more charging resources. An access queue is maintained for each of the charging resources. Each piece of equipment is assigned a position in an access queue when it is determined to have a state of charge (SOC) less than the first level. Each access queue is updated based on charger information such as its availability. A piece of equipment is assigned access to a charging resource when its queue position reaches a first priority position and a charging resource is available. For each piece of equipment assigned access to a charging resource, an instruction to end access to the charging resource is issued when an elapsed charging time period is equal to or greater than a break time or the SOC is greater than a second level representative of an operational charge.

Abstract: One embodiment is a method of operating an electronic control system (ECS) to control an engine to propel a vehicle. The method comprises receiving a throttle command, determining an operation to increase engine cycle efficiency by reducing engine torque below a magnitude corresponding to the throttle command and below a torque curve limit over a first vehicle operation segment and permitting an increase in engine torque above the torque curve limit over a second vehicle operation segment, controlling the engine to output torque below the magnitude corresponding to the throttle command and below the torque curve limit over the first vehicle operation segment, and controlling the engine to output torque above the torque curve limit over the second vehicle operation segment in response to a second received throttle command and constrained by an extended limit on operation of the engine above the torque curve limit.

Abstract: A control system, apparatus, and method integrates vehicle speed management and predicted gear shifting of a vehicle by determining current and future engine power requirements from the current and forward-looking route conditions to improve performance, drivability, and/or fuel economy of the vehicle over what is achievable through conventional gear state selection via static calibration tables and conventional shifting strategies. The selection of the vehicle reference speed is responsive to a gear selection to provide increased fuel economy, decreased trip time or combinations thereof.
