  • Publication number: 20250095408
    Abstract: A method for estimating a remaining range of a vehicle battery charge includes identifying at least one route characteristic of a portion of a selected route, determining a vehicle energy consumption profile for a vehicle, and determining a current state of charge of a vehicle battery of the vehicle. The method also includes determining, for the selected route, a route energy consumption profile and calculating an estimated remaining charge for the vehicle battery at an end of the selected route based on the state of charge of the vehicle battery and the route energy consumption profile. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the estimated remaining charge is less than a lower limit of the vehicle battery charge range, determining a target vehicle speed profile based on the at least one route characteristic, the vehicle energy consumption profile, and the state of charge of the vehicle battery.

  • Publication number: 20090049897
    Abstract: An electronic engine controller is configured to execute a process of adapting a base value of the volumetric efficiency of an engine through the addition of a correction value of the volumetric efficiency. The process includes comparing an estimated mass air flow value calculated using a speed-density equation, with an actual mass air flow value measured by a mass air flow (MAF) sensor. A percentage error of the estimated mass air flow value as compared to the actual mass air flow value is calculated. When the percentage error indicates that the air flow is at steady state, then the process updates the VE correction value, by integrating the percentage error. The new correction value, thus computed, is then stored in a cell of an array corresponding to the current engine operating condition. The process is configured to add the correction value to the corresponding base value to produce an updated value of the VE, valid for that operating condition.

  • Publication number: 20090048729
    Abstract: A method for determining whether a variable valve actuation (VVA) device or subsystem is operating in an improper mode of operation is performed in real-time by an embedded engine or powertrain controller configured to monitor and evaluate an already-available knock sensor output signal. The knock sensor output is captured during a predefined sampling window, defined to include a valve closing event when the VVA device is operating in a proper mode. The captured knock sensor output signal is processed to detect the presence (or absence) of a valve closing event. The absence of a valve closing event when one is expected is indicative of a malfunctioning VVA device.

  • Patent number: 7254478
    Abstract: A method of estimating the quantity of secondary reaction airflow supplied to the exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine by an air injection reaction (AIR) system models airflows in an AIR pump, an AIR valve, and a plenum coupling the pump to the valve. The pump flow is modeled based on the pump speed (or pump motor voltage), the pump inlet air temperature and the pressure ratio across the pump, and the valve flow is modeled based on the pressure ratio across the valve and the valve inlet air temperature. The plenum pressure used in the pump and valve pressure ratios is modeled based on the net plenum airflow and the plenum air temperature. The estimated AIR airflow is useful for managing the air/fuel ratio in the engine exhaust system and enhancing the reliability of AIR diagnostics.

  • Patent number: 6658364
    Abstract: An improved method of estimating the gas pressure in the exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine characterizes the engine exhaust system as a restriction, and estimates the exhaust manifold pressure as the gas pressure upstream of the restriction based on calibrated characteristics of the exhaust system and known characteristics of exhaust gas flow through the exhaust system. The estimation is based on a mathematical model that relates the mass flow of gas through the engine exhaust system to the exhaust manifold pressure (i.e., the upstream pressure), the barometric pressure (i.e., the downstream pressure) and the exhaust manifold gas temperature. An estimate of a pressure ratio across the exhaust system is calibrated based on the model parameters, and the exhaust manifold pressure is determined according to the product of the estimated pressure ratio and the barometric pressure.
