    摘要: Systems and methods for determining state of health (SOH) of a battery. For example, a method includes conditioning the battery by determining an initial state of charge of the battery; charging the battery from the initial state of charge to a first target state of charge via a predetermined multi-stage charging sequence; and determining SOH of the battery by charging the battery from the first target state of charge to a second target state of charge at an ICA charging rate; acquiring a voltage vs. capacity (QV) data of the battery during charging of the battery from the first target state of charge to the second target state of charge; obtaining an incremental capacity (IC) data based on at least the acquired QV data; pre-processing the IC data; extracting an incremental capacity analysis (ICA) peak from the IC data; and determining the SOH of the battery based upon the ICA peak.

    摘要: A prime mover system includes a first prime mover, a first drive shaft, a differential, a power take-off (PTO) drive shaft, a second drive shaft, a transmission, a first accessory, and an output shaft. The first drive shaft is operatively coupled to the first prime mover. The differential is coupled to the first drive shaft. The PTO drive shaft is coupled to the differential. The second drive shaft is coupled to the differential. The transmission is coupled to the second drive shaft. The first accessory is operatively coupled to the PTO drive shaft. The output shaft is coupled to the transmission. The transmission is configured to transfer rotation of the second drive shaft to the output shaft. Rotation of the PTO drive shaft is independent of rotation of the output shaft.

    摘要: A method includes acquiring, by one or more processing circuits, an operating parameter of a component of a vehicle; acquiring, by the one or more processing circuits, at least one of static information or dynamic information regarding at least one route characteristic; determining, by the one or more processing circuits, an adjustment for the component of the vehicle based on the operating parameter and the at least one of the static information or the dynamic information indicating that an upcoming event is expected to cause the operating parameter of the component to be outside of a target operating range; and implementing, by the one or more processing circuits, the adjustment for the component of the vehicle to preemptively adjust the operating parameter of the component in advance of the upcoming event to maintain the operating parameter within the target operating range as the upcoming event is traversed.

    摘要: A system and method of utilizing a power boost feature is disclosed. The power boost feature enables the vehicle to produce a greater amount of power when needed, for example, to provide launch assist or overtake assist in a vehicle. A power boost request processor may receive information from a plurality of information systems of the vehicle, including, for example, vehicle mass, enablement of an accelerator pedal kick down switch, an amount of time passed between power boost system functions as communicated by a timer, operation and/or status of a cooling system, system enablement, transmission enablement, vehicle speed, position of an accelerator pedal, grade of the road as communicated by a road-grade sensor, actual vehicle power, actual available vehicle power, available battery power, look ahead information, powertrain health, route information, existence of emission zones, weather, and advanced driver-assistance systems.

    摘要: A method and system is provided of controlling a pump having a pumping element comprising: determining, by a controller, a suspension of one or more fuel delivery events for a pumping element of the at least one pumping element; subsequent to determining the suspension of the one or more fuel delivery events, providing, by the controller, a first command to open an inlet valve of the pumping element to remove a portion of residual fluid within a pumping chamber based on pressure within the pumping chamber of the pumping element; and subsequent to providing the first command, providing, by the controller, a second command to close the inlet valve of the pumping element based on a top dead center (TDC) position of the pumping element.
