Patent number: 11396300Abstract: Disclosed are various techniques to optimize load delivery management of multiple vehicles along route. The optimization can involve evaluating vehicle-in-front information along with look ahead data to determine a recommended speed target and/or idle stop times and durations. The optimization can also involve determining bottleneck conditions from one or more vehicles and/or one or more infrastructure conditions and providing one or more recommended actions in response thereto.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Archit N. Koti, Jairo Andres Sandoval Leon, Vivek Anand Sujan, Patrick J. Shook, Apurva Arvind Chunodkar, Kenneth M. Follen

Patent number: 11352008Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus includes management of coasting during operation of a vehicle. Speed of a vehicle is monitored during a coasting event and is compared against a threshold to determine whether to remain coasting or re-engage an engine to a driveline. If instantaneous speed exceeds the threshold, predicted speed can be used to determine whether to permit short duration excursions, or to re-engage the engine to the driveline. These techniques can be used whether the vehicle is slowing down below a threshold or speeding up above a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Jairo Andres Sandoval Leon, Vivek Anand Sujan, Tejas Shrikant Kinjawadekar

Patent number: 10988140Abstract: A powertrain including a prime mover and an electronically controllable clutch. The powertrain structured selectably engages the clutch to provide power from the prime mover to drive one or more ground contacting wheels and to selectably disengage the clutch to decouple with one or more ground contacting wheels. The electronic control system operatively communicates with the prime mover and the electronically controllable clutch, and uses a predictive cruise control (PCC) controller and an idle coast management (ICM) controller, to control vehicle speed during concurrent operation of the PCC controller and the ICM controller.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Kenneth M. Follen, Vivek Anand Sujan, Daniel Reed Dempsey, Tejas Shrikant Kinjawadekar, Craig Michael Calmer, Jairo Andres Sandoval Leon, Oruganti Prashanth Sharma

Patent number: 10960884Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus include a controller structured to predict a change in speed of a vehicle in advance of upcoming terrain and inhibit a coasting event if the speed exceeds a limit. In one form a velocity of the vehicle is predicted using a physics based model of the vehicle within a look ahead window in front of a vehicle. Such a look ahead window can be distance or time based. In another, speed of a vehicle is monitored during a coasting event and is compared against a threshold to determine whether to remain coasting or re-engage an engine to a driveline. The threshold is a function of road grade, and permits a larger deviation from set speed at low grade than at high grade. The function can be based on road grade and vehicle weight.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Cummins Inc.Inventors: Oruganti Prashanth Sharma, Kenneth M. Follen, Tejas Shrikant Kinjawadekar, Vivek Anand Sujan, Daniel Reed Dempsey, Apurva Chunodkar, Nathanael G. Long, Jairo Andres Sandoval Leon
