    Abstract: A system and method of utilizing a power boost feature is disclosed. The power boost feature enables the vehicle to produce a greater amount of power when needed, for example, to provide launch assist or overtake assist in a vehicle. A power boost request processor may receive information from a plurality of information systems of the vehicle, including, for example, vehicle mass, enablement of an accelerator pedal kick down switch, an amount of time passed between power boost system functions as communicated by a timer, operation and/or status of a cooling system, system enablement, transmission enablement, vehicle speed, position of an accelerator pedal, grade of the road as communicated by a road-grade sensor, actual vehicle power, actual available vehicle power, available battery power, look ahead information, powertrain health, route information, existence of emission zones, weather, and advanced driver-assistance systems.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various techniques to optimize mining operations efficiency in which the mine utilizes mine trucks over a mine route. One such technique includes optimizing engine speed from a speed and torque management system. Such engine speed changes can be determined using information such as road grade data and mine stop locations, or whether the engine is in a retarder mode. Mine operation efficiency can be improved through use of adjustments made to a load acceptance curve. Changes to the load acceptance curve can be made through use of information such as road grade data and target truck speed. Improvements can be made through dynamically adjusted vehicle speed, such as through average route speed adjustments, or route segment adjustments in light of average route speed. A dynamic torque management system can provide efficiencies as limits are applied to torque using look ahead information.
