    Abstract: A method of controlling an idle speed of an engine of a vehicle, includes the steps of determining that the engine is decelerating to or is operating at a nominal idle speed, determining that a vehicle brake is applied, determining an actual or projected electrical load of at least part of a vehicle electrical system is beyond an electrical load threshold, and increasing the engine speed to or maintaining the speed of the engine at a speed greater than the nominal idle speed range as a function of the electrical load to increase the electrical output of a generator coupled to the engine. The method may include determining that the brake is ceasing to be applied and then decreasing the engine speed to or toward the nominal idle speed.

    Abstract: When selecting cylinders of a multi-cylinder diesel engine in an engine system for cylinder deactivation (CDA), a method can comprise designating a first resonance around a first periodic frequency output of the engine system as a primary boundary and designating a second resonance around a second periodic frequency output of the engine system as a secondary boundary. Selecting cylinders can comprise selecting one of half, one third, or two thirds of the multiple cylinders for CDA while firing the remaining multiple cylinders. The selection can be made so that the periodic frequency output of the engine is between the primary and secondary boundaries. A compact periodic frequency band can be implemented to further restrict the selection of cylinders for CDA. The first periodic frequency output can be about 15 Hertz+/−1.5 Hertz and the second periodic frequency output can be between 30-40 Hertz+/−1.5 Hertz.

    Abstract: When the vehicle is stopped and removal of deposits is not required, and forced charging of a power storage device is not being performed, the controller controls the fuel supply device so that a supply fuel pressure is at the first fuel pressure. When the vehicle is stopped and the removal of deposits is required, and the forced charging of the power storage device is being performed, the controller controls the fuel supply device so that the supply fuel pressure is at a second fuel pressure higher than the first fuel pressure. When the vehicle is stopped and the removal of deposits is required, and the forced charging of the power storage device is not being performed, the controller controls the fuel supply device so that the supply fuel pressure is at a third fuel pressure higher than the first fuel pressure and lower than the second fuel pressure.

    Abstract: System, method, and apparatus for controlling performance of an engine in response to a set of outputs from a device to an engine control unit. The engine control unit receives profile parameters that are related to outputs of the device. The engine control unit engages a high performance functionality in response to a first signal. The engine control unit engages a high idle functionality in response to a second signal.

    Abstract: Methods and system are provided to control engine torque of an engine of a vehicle. The methods comprise determining a drive torque demand on a crankshaft of an engine; determining an accessory torque demand on the crankshaft, the accessory torque demand comprising a first torque demand from a first e-machine and a second torque demand from a second e-machine; determining whether the sum of the drive torque demand and the accessory torque demand is greater than a usable torque capacity output from the engine crankshaft, and increasing a speed of the engine in response to determining that the sum of the drive torque demand and the accessory torque demand is greater than the usable torque capacity output from the engine crankshaft.

    Abstract: A method for setting an idling speed of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, in which the idling speed of the internal combustion engine is increased if a predetermined power request within an on-board power system of the motor vehicle is detected, wherein a generator for electrically supplying the on-board power system is driven by the internal combustion engine, and wherein the internal combustion engine is connected to a transmission of the motor vehicle, wherein the connection between the internal combustion engine and the transmission is disconnected, and/or a predetermined braking force is made available by means of at least one brake of the motor vehicle if the predetermined power request is detected.
