Abstract: Systems and methods for triggering and issuing safety warnings, including a risk-assessment system that collects movement data pertaining to each of a plurality of subsystems including one or more slow-moving subsystems (SMSSs) and/or one or more fast-moving subsystems (FMSSs). The risk-assessment system identifies, based at least in part on the collected movement data, an instance in which each of a set of warning-triggering conditions is true. The set includes (i) that a likelihood of a collision occurring among an identified subset of the plurality of subsystems is greater than a collision-probability threshold and (ii) that at least one of the subsystems in the identified subset has at least one current movement anomaly. In response to identifying the instance, the risk-assessment system issues at least one warning to at least one of the subsystems in the identified subset.

Abstract: A method includes operating a spark ignition engine and flowing low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) from an exhaust to an inlet of the spark ignition engine. The method includes interpreting a parameter affecting an operation of the spark ignition engine, and determining a knock index value in response to the parameter. The method further includes reducing a likelihood of engine knock in response to the knock index value exceeding a knock threshold value.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a control circuit. The control circuit is structured to interpret condition data indicative of an external operating condition of a vehicle, determine an operating parameter of the vehicle based on an actuator response of an actuator of the vehicle, compare the operating parameter to an operating parameter threshold where the operating parameter threshold is based on the external operating condition, and remap an actuator response map of the actuator based on the comparison indicating that the operating parameter does not satisfy the operating parameter threshold. The operating parameter includes at least one of a fuel economy value, an emissions value, an acceleration value, a braking value, or a wear value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining whether an authorized or genuine filter element is installed in a filtration system are described. The authorized filter determination may be based on radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technology. RFID readers with antennas in the monitored filter systems read the RFID tag information from the installed filter elements and feed any detected information into the filter monitoring system. The filter monitoring system or a remote diagnostic system analyzes the returned data (or absence thereof) to determine if a genuine (i.e., authorized, OEM approved, etc.) filter element is installed or not.

Abstract: A system and method of detecting fueling imbalance(s) in an internal combustion engine is provided. The method includes receiving data regarding an oxygen content of engine exhaust for the engine operating at a cycle rate. Frequency component analysis is performed comprising a filtering operation on the received oxygen content data. The filtering is done at the cycle rate of the engine or harmonics thereof to obtain filtered oxygen content data. Then, the method/system determines at least one of: 1) one or more angles of the engine at which the filtered oxygen content data exhibits a first amplitude value characteristic relative to amplitude values at other angles; and 2) a shape of the filtered oxygen content data obtained by sampling at pre-defined engine angles. The method/system then identifies a cylinder experiencing a fueling imbalance responsive to the determined at least one of one or more angle(s) and shape of the data.
