    摘要: A method is used to control a fuel level gauge of a vehicle system and includes: monitoring, via an engine controller, a fuel economy of the vehicle system; comparing, via the engine controller, the fuel economy with a predetermined fuel economy threshold to determine whether the fuel economy is less than the predetermined fuel economy threshold; adjusting, via the engine controller, a sensitivity of a display filter in response to determining that the fuel economy is less than the predetermined fuel economy threshold for a predetermined amount of time in order to maximize an accuracy of the fuel level gauge, wherein the display filter smoothes an unfiltered fuel level signal received from a fuel level sensor of the vehicle system, thereby generating a filtered fuel level signal; and controlling, via an instrument panel controller, the fuel level gauge of the vehicle system.

    摘要: A method for improving fuel efficiency testing precision in on-road vehicles. The method comprises: installing one or more dataloggers in one or more vehicles, each datalogger configured to receive fuel consumption data broadcast by an on-road vehicle's engine control unit (ECU); transmitting the fuel consumption data from the one or more dataloggers in the one or more on-road vehicles to a processor; and analyzing, using the processor, the fuel consumption data from the one or more dataloggers in the one or more on-road vehicles to determine fuel efficiency of the one or more on-road vehicles. The fuel consumption data comprises fuel rate data from the ECU which is transmitted through the one or more dataloggers, engine speed and other operating parameters from the ECU that are transmitted through the one or more dataloggers, torque sensor data which is transmitted through the one or more dataloggers, and traditional fuel log data.

    摘要: A system for calculating the operating distance range remaining for a vehicle. The system includes a driver input sensor for sensing predetermined vehicle operating condition data, an energy storage sensor for sensing energy storage capacity data of a corresponding energy supply mechanism, a controller in communication with the driver input sensor and the energy storage sensor. An executable range calculation software program is stored in the memory of the controller which uses sensed vehicle operating condition data from the driver input sensor and sensed energy storage capacity data from the energy storage sensor to determine range by determining a mean of energy storage capacity data, determining a slope of the energy storage capacity data, determining an intercept of the energy storage capacity data, and applying a least square linear regression to the determined mean, determined slope and determined intercept to find the remaining range.

    摘要: System and methods provide information to an operator of an engine such that the engine operates with optimal performance, such as maximal fuel efficiency. Such a system may include a plurality of sensors adapted to measure operating parameters of the engine; an engine management system adapted to receive measured operating parameters from the sensors and to generate signals indicative of a current operating performance of the engine and signals indicative of performance-increasing adjustments to current operating parameters; and a display adapted to present symbols in response to signals from the engine management system. The symbols guide the operator to increase or maintain engine performance.

    摘要: A patch panel and a distribution module for mounting thereon has at least one aperture in the panel into which the module is fitted. The aperture has sloped latching surfaces on its upper and lower edges, and the front housing of the module has spring latches and latching tabs for mounting to the panel. A circuit board has spring blocks thereon, at least one of which engages a corresponding spring latch to prevent its becoming disengaged from the panel. A rear housing latches to the rear of the front housing to hold the circuit board in place therebetween. An identifying label holder is adapted to be affixed to the front of the front housing of the module.
