    Abstract: The engine controller includes storage which stores a fuel efficiency operation line for optimizing engine fuel consumption and a booming noise avoidance operation line for keeping the booming noise below a certain limit. The operation point region where the booming noise exceeding the certain limit is generated is a booming noise region. The fuel efficiency operation line passes through the booming noise region. In contrast, the booming noise avoidance operation line does not pass through the booming noise region. The controller controls the engine according to the booming noise avoidance operation line. The controller controls the engine according to the fuel efficiency operation line for a predetermined period after determining that the driver intends to change the speed of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A phase diagnosis method and apparatus. When it is verified that the location of an engine is valid, an oil injector performs spraying at a top center compression position; if no acceleration is detected after spraying, it indicates that a fault occurs; in order to detect whether it is a fault of phase deviation of the camshaft by 180 degrees, the oil sprayer performs spraying at the top center exhaust position and detects whether there is an acceleration; if an acceleration is detected, it indicates that the situation of the phase deviation of the camshaft by 180 degrees exists. In this way, the problem in the prior art of being unable to detect phase deviation when the phase of a camshaft is deviated by 180 degrees is solved.

    Abstract: One embodiment is a system comprising an engine including a dedicated EGR cylinder configured to provide EGR to the engine via an EGR loop, a non-dedicated cylinder, a plurality of injectors, an ignition system including a plurality of spark plugs, an intake throttle, and an electronic control system. The electronic control system is configured to control combustion during transient operation of the engine by determining one or more combustion control parameters compensating for variation of one or more of inert matter, unburned air and unburned fuel in EGR output by the dedicated EGR cylinder during transient operation of the engine, and an effect of the EGR loop on inert matter, unburned air and unburned fuel provided to the plurality of cylinders, and controlling operation of at least one of the throttle, the ignition system and the plurality of injectors in response to at least one of the one or more combustion control parameters.

    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes an accelerator sensor which detects an accelerator opening, and a processor which sets a target acceleration of a vehicle based on the detected accelerator opening, sets a target torque of a drive source based on the set target acceleration, and controls the drive source to generate the set target torque. In a case where the target acceleration at a time when the accelerator opening is increased is set as a depression-increasing target acceleration and the target acceleration at a time when the accelerator opening is decreased is set as a pedal-returning target acceleration, under the same condition of the accelerator opening, the processor sets the target acceleration such that the depression-increasing target acceleration and the pedal-returning target acceleration are different from each other in a predetermined range of an upper limit acceleration or less and a lower limit acceleration or greater.

    Abstract: A controller may determine that a regeneration process associated with an engine of a machine is active. The controller may obtain, based on determining that the regeneration process is active, information concerning a speed of the engine, information concerning a load of the engine, and information concerning a fuel rate of the engine. The controller may select, based on the information concerning the speed of the engine, the information concerning the load of the engine, and the information concerning the fuel rate of the engine, a control process, of a plurality of control processes, to control an intake manifold absolute pressure (IMAP) of the engine to facilitate the regeneration process. The controller may cause, according to the selected control process, adjustment of one or more components of a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) of the engine and an intake throttle valve (ITV) of the engine.
