Abstract: Technologies for energy consumption optimization include a computing device in communication with a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) or other hybrid architecture vehicle. The computing device receives mission parameters and an optimization objective associated with the FCEV and cost information associated with external energy sources. Each external energy source corresponds to an onboard energy storage device of the FCEV. The computing device determines an optimized energy source schedule based on the mission parameters, the optimization objective, and the cost information using a vehicle model of the FCEV. The optimized energy source schedule is indicative of supplying one or more of the onboard energy storage devices with energy from the associated external energy source. The computing device may recommend a component replacement for the FCEV using a component aging model. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A system for controlling an overtake maneuver of a control vehicle comprises a controller structured to determine an overtake velocity for the control vehicle traveling in a vehicle lane to overtake a front vehicle traveling ahead of the control vehicle in the vehicle lane. The controller determines an overtake time for the control vehicle to overtake the front vehicle based on the overtake velocity. The controller determines a direction of traffic in an overtake lane that is adjacent to the vehicle lane. If the direction of traffic in the overtake lane is the same as a direction of traffic in the vehicle lane, and the overtake velocity is less than or equal to an allowed velocity, the controller executes the overtake maneuver by one of adjusting a parameter of an engine and/or a transmission of the control vehicle or providing a command to an operator of the control vehicle.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for finding line features in an image that allows multiple lines to be efficiently and accurately identified and characterized. When lines are identified, the user can train the system to associate predetermined (e.g. text) labels with respect to such lines. These labels can be used to define neural net classifiers. The neural net operates at runtime to identify and score lines in a runtime image that are found using a line-finding process. The found lines can be displayed to the user with labels and an associated probability score map based upon the neural net results. Lines that are not labeled are generally deemed to have a low score, and are either not flagged by the interface, or identified as not relevant.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine at least one reason for a deserter to exit a first platoon; determine a deserter position within the first platoon; communicate the deserter exit to the first platoon after determination of the at least one reason for the deserter to exit the first platoon based at least in part on the deserter position; adapt a behavior of the first platoon to allow the deserter to exit the first platoon; and reconfigure the remaining vehicles from the first platoon into a second platoon.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed that include an internal combustion engine including a plurality of cylinders operable by a valve actuation mechanism including a lifting mechanism having a compression brake valve profile configured to selectively lift the exhaust valves on a downstroke of the cylinders in response to a cranking condition of the internal combustion engine, wherein the compression braking valve profile is phased to the upstroke of the pistons.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
