The hybrid power train is at least partially parallel. The system includes a controller having modules to execute operations for rate control of the hybrid power train. A battery protection module determines a battery protection charge rate limit, a power train protection module determines a power train protection torque change limit, and a torque request module determines the torque request. A rate control module provides a torque balance parameter in response to the limits and the torque request. A torque control module provides an electrical torque and a combustion torque to the driveline in response to the torque balance parameter.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for controlling engine exhaust temperature. For example, according to one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus for controlling the temperature of engine output exhaust of an internal combustion engine 110 during a regeneration event on a particulate matter filter 150 includes a regeneration module 260 and an exhaust temperature manager 470. The regeneration module 260 is configured to determine a desired diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)140 inlet exhaust temperature during a regeneration event. The exhaust temperature manager 470 is configured to determine an air-to-fuel ratio strategy for achieving a desired air-to-fuel ratio within the combustion chamber 111 for producing an engine output exhaust temperature approximately equal to the desired DOC inlet exhaust temperature 435. The air-to-fuel ratio strategy includes a first mode and a second mode.

    Abstract: A vehicle operating condition profile can be determined over a given route while also considering imposed constraints such as deviation from time targets, deviation from maximum governed speed limits, etc. Given current vehicle speed, engine state and transmission state, the present disclosure optimally manages the engine map and transmission to provide a recommended vehicle operating condition that optimizes fuel consumption in transitioning from one vehicle state to a target state. Exemplary embodiments provide for offline and online optimizations relative to fuel consumption. The benefit is increased freight efficiency in transporting cargo from source to destination by minimizing fuel consumption and maintaining drivability.
