    摘要: A method for thermal conditioning at least one thermal buffer of a thermal system of a vehicle, the thermal system being a rechargeable energy storage system, RESS, and/or an energy transformation system comprising fuel cells, the thermal buffer having an operating window defined by the preferred operating temperature of the thermal buffer. The method includes providing predictive power utilization of the thermal buffer as a function of time, conditioning the thermal buffer in response to the predictive power utilization, such that the thermal buffer is thermally conditioned to be within the operating window of the thermal buffer. The operating window is varying as a function of the predictive power utilization over time.

    摘要: A method for diagnosing a part of a powertrain system is provided. The powertrain system comprising an internal combustion engine system having an internal combustion engine provided with a plurality of cylinders, each cylinder being provided with an air inlet valve and an exhaust gas valve, the method comprising the steps of operating any one of the inlet valve and the exhaust valve for any one of the cylinders to adjust the frequency and/or duration of air pulses during different load conditions of the internal combustion engine; determining an operational behaviour of the part of the powertrain system in response to the adjusted frequency and/or duration of the air pulses; and comparing the determined operational behaviour of the part of the powertrain system with an expected behaviour of the part of the powertrain system.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for controlling gaseous fuel pressure in an accumulator (12) of a fuel system (10) for a combustion engine (102) of a vehicle (100), wherein the method comprises the steps of: determining a nominal amount of gaseous fuel to be introduced into the accumulator; introducing less gaseous fuel into the accumulator than the determined nominal amount by reducing or closing an inlet valve (24), which inlet valve is adapted to regulate input of gaseous fuel to the accumulator; and while the inlet valve is reduced or closed, performing at least one injection of gaseous fuel coming from the accumulator into at least one combustion chamber (104a-f) of the combustion engine by at least one injector (14a-f) of the fuel system, which at least one injection contributes to combustion in the combustion engine, thereby reducing pressure in the accumulator. The invention also relates to a corresponding fuel system (10).

    摘要: A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising obtaining route data representing information about a portion of a route to be travelled by the subject vehicle and determining an efficient speed of the subject vehicle at a position along the route portion, in dependence on the route data, on a cost of operating the subject vehicle along the route portion, and on a progress of the subject vehicle along the route portion, comprising determining, independently of the step of determining an efficient speed, a maximum safe speed at the position along the route portion, in dependence on the route data, with an aim to avoid an accident involving the subject vehicle, wherein the maximum safe speed forms an upper limit of the subject vehicle speed at the position.
