Abstract: An electronic control system is configured to control a vehicle operating in a convoy by determining a vehicle motion reference parameter (VMRP) in response to a convoying control input (CCI), determining a braking capability of the vehicle including at least a regenerative braking capability, determining a minimum following distance between the vehicle and a forward vehicle of the convoy based at least in part upon the braking capability, and arbitrating among a plurality of control options including performing a first modification of the VMRP determined to provide operation of the vehicle satisfying the minimum following distance and controlling motion of the vehicle using the first modification of the VMRP, performing a second modification of the VMRP determined to provide improved operating efficiency of the vehicle controlling motion of the vehicle using the second modification of the VMRP, and performing no modification of the VMRP and controlling motion of the vehicle using the VMRP without modification.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods relating to balancing engine performance and engine emissions of an engine in a vehicle in real time. In an example, a method can include sensing operation data indicative of an engine response during a current engine operation. The current ending operation can include a supervisory control of engine emissions. The method can include evaluating a response model to determine engine performance deviation data corresponding to an expected baseline engine performance and an expected current engine performance at the current engine operation. This evaluation can be performed via controller. This evaluation can be based on the operation data. The method can include generating and setting a performance constraint in response to evaluating the response model. The performance constraint can be set such that the engine performance deviation data is maintained at a controls objective that inhibits deterioration of the engine performance over time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a performance variable of an engine system are provided. An apparatus includes a response model circuit structured to apply a constraint to a response model that represents a relationship regarding a manipulated variable or a relationship between the performance variable and the manipulated variable. The apparatus further includes an optimization circuit structured to determine a target for the manipulated variable via the response model such that the target of the manipulated variable satisfies the constraint of the response model. The performance variable is indicative of performance of operation of the engine system and the manipulated variable is capable of affecting the performance variable. Operation of the engine system is adjusted based upon the target of the manipulated variable by controlling at least one of a fuel system or an air handling system of the engine system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for calibration and control of various engine subsystems using a target value approach. Under the target value approach, the control of each engine subsystem is separated or decoupled to include a set of target values, or a reference value set. A subsystem has a corresponding target determiner, which provides a target value set, or reference value set, in response to a basis variable set and optionally an overall subsystem target. The basis variable set includes parameters selected to robustly characterize the variables that affect the operation of the particular subsystem. The target determiner is optionally calibrated to provide a reference value set within specifications of the subsystem. A physical subsystem controller operates in response to the reference value set.

Abstract: A system for control of an internal combustion system having subsystems, each with different response times. Subsystems may include a fuel system, an air handling system, and an aftertreatment system, each being operated in response to a set of reference values generated by a respective target determiner. Calibration of each subsystem may be performed independently. The fuel system is controlled at a first time constant. The air handling system is controlled on the order of a second time constant slower than the first time constant. The aftertreatment system is controlled on the order of a third time constant slower than the second time constant. A subsystem manager is optionally in operative communication with each target determiner to coordinate control. Generally, dynamic parameters from slower subsystems are treated as static parameters when determining reference values for controlling a faster subsystem.
