Abstract: An apparatus includes an initial planning module, a tandem implementation module, and a scheduler module. The initial planning module is structured to interpret one or more fleet delivery requirements, assets, drivers, and vehicle descriptions. The tandem implementation module is structured to determine a travel schedule with respect to a first vehicle and a second vehicle that enables the first vehicle and the second vehicle to travel in tandem for a least a portion of a route in response to input from the initial planning module. The scheduler module is structured to provide a fleet delivery schedule to the first vehicle and the second vehicle in response to the determination of the tandem implementation module.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a system and method for detecting inhomogeneous fueling between fuel injectors in an internal combustion engine without resorting to a measurement of the amount of fuel delivered by each fuel injector, permitting rapid and effective adjustment of fueling by any fuel injector deviating from the homogeneity of other fuel injectors in the engine. The benefit of modifying fueling in this manner is that fueling by each fuel injector 38 is balanced independent of actual measurements of fuel delivery, simplifying the process of correcting cylinder-to-cylinder fueling imbalances. The described system and method require no intrusion into a fueling system of the engine and uses currently existing components.

Abstract translation: 本公开提供了一种用于在内燃机中检测燃料喷射器之间的不均匀燃料的系统和方法，而不需要测量由每个燃料喷射器输送的燃料量，从而允许通过任何燃料喷射器快速有效地调整燃料喷射器偏离均匀性 的其他燃油喷射器在发动机。 以这种方式改变燃料供给的好处是，每个燃料喷射器38的燃料供给是独立于燃料输送的实际测量而平衡的，简化了校正气缸到汽缸加油不平衡的过程。 所描述的系统和方法不需要侵入发动机的加油系统，并且使用当前存在的部件。
