  • Engine stop and start debounce timer for vehicles
    Patent number: 10173666
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine and a controller. The controller starts the engine in response to a brake status before and during a change in vehicle operating mode achieving predetermined states, and expiration of a timer initiated upon completion of the change and having a duration based upon a learned mean mode-specific shift time window. The change is initiated in response to a request to change vehicle operating mode while the engine is off.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 8, 2019
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Hafiz Shafeek Khafagy, Jonathan Wentworth, Essam Mohamed, Rashad Jamal Allen

  • Mitigating transient current effects in engine autostart/stop vehicle
    Patent number: 9783187
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine and a controller programmed to autostart and autostop the engine. In an autostopped state, engine autostarts are inhibited in the presence of transient currents caused by activation of electrical loads. Engine autostarts are inhibited for a predetermined duration after activation of the electrical load when a battery current is greater than an autostart current threshold.
