    摘要: One embodiment is a system comprising an engine including a dedicated EGR cylinder configured to provide EGR to the engine via an EGR loop, a non-dedicated cylinder, a plurality of injectors, an ignition system including a plurality of spark plugs, an intake throttle, and an electronic control system. The electronic control system is configured to control combustion during transient operation of the engine by determining one or more combustion control parameters compensating for variation of one or more of inert matter, unburned air and unburned fuel in EGR output by the dedicated EGR cylinder during transient operation of the engine, and an effect of the EGR loop on inert matter, unburned air and unburned fuel provided to the plurality of cylinders, and controlling operation of at least one of the throttle, the ignition system and the plurality of injectors in response to at least one of the one or more combustion control parameters.

    摘要: A method includes acquiring nitrogen oxide (NOx) data indicative of a first amount of NOx in an exhaust flow exiting an engine and a second amount of NOx in the exhaust flow exiting an exhaust aftertreatment system coupled to the engine where the exhaust aftertreatment system including a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system including a SCR catalyst; determining a NOx conversion efficiency fault is present within the exhaust aftertreatment system based on the first amount of NOx and the second amount of NOx; monitoring an actual amount of NOx in the exhaust flow downstream of the SCR catalyst; determining an expected amount of NOx downstream of the SCR catalyst; and determining the SCR catalyst is responsible for the NOx conversion efficiency fault in response to the actual amount of NOx differing from the expected amount of NOx by more than a threshold amount.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a nitrogen oxide (NOx) module and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) diagnostic module. The NOx module is in exhaust gas communication with an exhaust flow of an exhaust aftertreatment system from an engine. The NOx module is structured to interpret NOx data indicative of an amount of NOx exiting the engine and an amount of NOx exiting the exhaust aftertreatment system, and determine a NOx conversion efficiency fault is present based on the amount of NOx exiting the engine and the amount of NOx exiting the exhaust aftertreatment system. The SCR diagnostic module is structured to determine at least one of a SCR catalyst and a diesel particulate filter including a coating of a SCR reaction catalyst (DPF-SCR) are responsible for the NOx conversion efficiency fault based on at least one of a reductant slip amount and a NOx conversion value across at least one of the SCR catalyst and the DPF-SCR.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for predicting a driving intention of a driver of a vehicle. A sequence comprising a plurality of indicators is detected, where each indicator suggests intent to drive a vehicle. A separation time between each of the indicators of the sequence is determined. The sequence and determined separation times are compared to historical data, where the historical data comprises data related to previously stored separation times of the sequence. Based on the comparison, a confidence level that an engine of the vehicle will be started is determined. Based on the confidence level, a feature of the vehicle is activated.

    摘要: Systems and methods for correcting mass airflow sensor drift include an operation conditions module to interpret a base calibration function, a MAF sensor input value, and a current operating condition. A MAF correction module determines an expected MAF value in response to the current operating condition and a predetermined operating condition. The MAF correction module will also determine an adjusted MAF value in response to the expected MAF value, the base calibration function, and the MAF sensor input value. A MAF reporting module is structured to provide the adjusted MAF value.

    摘要: An engine system includes an air handling and fuel system whose states are managed by a reference managing unit. The engine system has a plurality of sensors whose sensor signals at least partially define a current state of the engine system. The reference managing unit includes a controller which controls the air handling and fuel system of the engine system as well as a processing unit coupled to the sensors and the controller. The processing unit includes an agent which learns a policy function that is trained to process the current state, determines air handling references and fuel system references by using the policy function after receiving the current state as an input, and outputs the air handling references and fuel system references to the controller. Then, the agent receives a next state and a reward value from the processing unit and updates the policy function using a policy evaluation algorithm and a policy improvement algorithm based on the received reward value. Subsequently, the controller controls the air handling and fuel system of the engine in response to receiving the air handling references and the fuel system references.
