Abstract: A control system for a vehicle includes an engine controller operable to determine a requested engine torque in response to a cruise control set command and a cruise control offset value, determine an engine torque command in response to the requested engine torque and a torque limit, and control operation of an engine in response to the engine torque command. The control system also includes a platooning controller operable to determine and provide to the engine controller the cruise control set command, the cruise control offset value and the torque limit effective to cause the engine controller to control the engine to provide a desired following distance between the vehicle and a second vehicle.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a control system, apparatus, and method includes dynamic optimization of at least one of a vehicle reference speed and/or transmission gear state 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 and gear state can be performed independently of one another in one embodiment, and complementary of one another in another embodiment.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus includes management of coasting during operation of a vehicle. Speed of a vehicle is monitored during a coasting event and is compared against a threshold to determine whether to remain coasting or re-engage an engine to a driveline. If instantaneous speed exceeds the threshold, predicted speed can be used to determine whether to permit short duration excursions, or to re-engage the engine to the driveline. These techniques can be used whether the vehicle is slowing down below a threshold or speeding up above a threshold.

Abstract: An electronic control system is adapted to control a system including an internal combustion engine and an exhaust aftertreatment system including an SCR catalyst. The electronic control system provides a first dynamically determined weighting factor in response to performing a selected one of a plurality of calculations, determines an operating mode of the engine in response to an engine load and an engine speed, selects one of a plurality of inputs in response to the operating mode of the engine to provide an interpolation weighting factor, the plurality of inputs including the first dynamically determined weighting factor and one or more predetermined weighting factors, utilizes the interpolation weighting factor to interpolate between a first set of combustion control data and a second set of combustion control data to determine a set of combustion control values, and controls operation of the engine using the set of combustion control values.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment is a method of controlling a vehicle system including an engine, a transmission, and a control system in operative communication with and structured to control operation of the engine and the transmission. The method determines an operating point of the engine including an engine torque and an engine speed and evaluates a relationship between the operating point and a soft limit on engine torque. The method modifies the soft limit to permit operation outside a boundary of the un-modified soft limit. Modification of the soft limit is constrained by a non-adjustable limit. The operating point of the engine is adjusted to increase engine torque above the boundary of the un-modified soft limit. The method may mitigate a vehicle speed lug event and/or avoid a transmission shift event.

Abstract: Controlling a speed of a vehicle based on at least a portion of a route grade and a route distance divided into a plurality of route sections, each including at least one of a section grade and section length. Controlling the speed of the vehicle is further based on determining a cruise control speed mode for the vehicle for each of the plurality of route sections and determining a speed reference command of the vehicle based on at least one of the cruise control speed mode, the section length, the section grade, and a current speed.
