    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a displacement detection circuit, a trailer stabilization circuit, and an engine control circuit. The displacement detection circuit is structured to receive information indicative of an applied force on a trailer of a vehicle. The trailer stabilization circuit is structured to determine a forcing function of the applied force on the trailer and determine a counter-forcing function to counteract the applied force on the trailer. The engine control circuit is structured to operate an engine of the vehicle to control a torque output of the engine according to the counter-forcing function.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions in a combustion engine. In one embodiment, the method includes a shift detection module (202) determining an out of gear (OOG) indicator (204) for a manual transmission (104). The method further includes an engine speed module (214) determining an engine speed target (216) based on at least one operating condition (206) of the engine. The method continues with a load determination module (224) determining an engine load target (226) in response to the OOG indicator and an engine acceleration module (220) determining a desired net torque (222) based on the engine speed target and the engine load target. Finally, the method concludes with an emissions module (207) determining a minimum fuel target (208) based on the desired net torque and an actuation module (230) generating a fueling signal (242) to engage an engine fueling.

    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.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for preventing turbocharger overspeed in a combustion engine (102). The method includes determining (602) a turbocharger error term (202) as a difference between a nominal turbocharger maximum speed (206) and a current turbocharger speed. The method further includes determining (604) a turbocharger speed derivative with respect to time (204). The method includes calculating (606) a turbocharger control response based on the turbocharger error term (202) and the turbocharger speed derivative with respect to time (204). The turbocharger control response (210) may be a modified turbocharger maximum speed (210A) calculated by determining a reference speed multiplier based on the turbocharger error term (202) and the turbocharger speed derivative with respect to time (204), and multiplying the reference speed multiplier by the nominal turbocharger maximum speed (206). The method thereby smoothly anticipates turbocharger transient events, and prevents an overspeed condition of the turbocharger.

    Abstract: A control system for a vehicle includes an engine controller operable to determine a requested engine torque in response to a cruise control set command and a cruise control offset value, determine an engine torque command in response to the requested engine torque and a torque limit, and control operation of an engine in response to the engine torque command. The control system also includes a platooning controller operable to determine and provide to the engine controller the cruise control set command, the cruise control offset value and the torque limit effective to cause the engine controller to control the engine to provide a desired following distance between the vehicle and a second vehicle.
