Abstract: A system includes a controller for an exhaust aftertreatment system including a SCR catalyst in exhaust gas-receiving communication with an engine and at least one reductant dosing system structured to provide reductant to the exhaust gas. The controller is structured to determine a ratio of NO to NO2 at or proximate an inlet of the SCR catalyst. The controller is further structured to command the at least one reductant dosing system to increase, decrease, or maintain an amount of reductant provided to the exhaust gas based on comparing the ratio of NO to NO2 to a previous NO to NO2 ratio.

Abstract: A system is provided for performing a power estimation process for an electric vehicle using a controller. The controller estimates an inner state of an energy storage supply of the electric vehicle. The inner state represents a state-of-charge (SOC) and/or a state-of-health (SOH) of the energy storage supply. The controller also estimates an SOC value and/or an SOH value of the energy storage supply based on at least one of: a present current level, a present voltage level, a present temperature, and time-based information. The controller further estimates a bounded SOC value based on the SOC value, a first upper bound, a the first lower bound, and/or estimates a bounded SOH value based on the SOH value, a second upper bound, and a second lower bound. The controller then controls an electrification process of the electric vehicle based on the bounded SOC and/or SOH values.

The controller is further structured to command the at least one reductant doser to increase, decrease, or maintain an amount of reductant provided to the exhaust gas based on the determined concentration of one or more of NO and NO2 in the exhaust gas.

Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a particulate filter configured to filter PM possessing a predetermined, least effective size range included in an exhaust gas flowing through the aftertreatment system. A PM sensor assembly is positioned downstream of the particulate filter and includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, a sidewall and defines an internal volume. A PM sensor is positioned within the internal volume. The housing is configured to redirect a flow of exhaust gas entering the PM sensor assembly around the PM sensor so that small particles included in the exhaust gas flow having a first size within or smaller than the predetermined size range are directed around the particulate matter sensor. Large particles having a second size larger than the predetermined size range impact the PM sensor. A controller is communicatively coupled to the PM sensor.
