Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive a vehicle location and to access driver-specific driving-mode-change data for the vehicle location. The processor is also configured to determine, based on the accessed data, if a vehicle driving-mode-change has previously occurred at the vehicle location and context a sufficient number of times to cross a predefined threshold and, if so, to automatically change a vehicle driving-mode to the driving-mode associated with the previous driving-mode-change.

Abstract: A method is provided for estimating distance to empty (DTE) for a vehicle. The method includes a controller which may, in response to detecting a change in a vehicle kinetic energy level due to vehicle acceleration or deceleration during a drive cycle, output a DTE modified by a predicted DTE range adjustment selected to include a kinetic energy compensation input corresponding to and correcting for the change in the vehicle kinetic energy level. An electrified vehicle having an energy conversion device, an energy source, one or more brake systems, and at least one controller is also provided. The controller may be programmed to, in response to detecting a change in a vehicle kinetic energy level due to vehicle acceleration or deceleration during a drive cycle, output a distance to empty to the interface based on conditions of vehicle components and the energy source compensated by a kinetic energy compensation input.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an electric machine configured to propel the vehicle using battery power. The vehicle also includes a controller programmed to operate the electric machine along a predetermined route based on a superposition of a plurality of partitionings of the route. Each of the partitionings is based on a different force characteristic associated with the route and defines at least one segment transition, where each segment transitions defines an end of a previous segment and a beginning of a subsequent segment. The predetermined route segments are such that no two adjacent segments of the superposition are defined by a same force characteristic.

Abstract: A method for an engine, comprising: sealing a fuel tank; and indicating fuel system degradation based on a comparison of a first correlation coefficient, determined based on a change in fuel tank pressure and a change in fuel tank temperature, to a second correlation coefficient determined based on a change in ambient pressure and a change in ambient temperature. In this way, leak tests, such as engine-off natural vacuum tests, may be performed without knowledge of the properties of the fuel stored in the fuel tank.
