Title:
APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE ENGINE SYSTEM CONTROL WITH INTEGRATED GLOBAL POSITION SENSING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/020063
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes an electronic controller (15) for an internal combustion engine (12) of a motor vehicle. The electronic controller includes a location detection module (32) configured to identify a location of the motor vehicle by a global positioning system (GPS) device (18). Also, the electronic controller includes a driving condition prediction module (34) configured to determine a direction of travel and access geographic information data for a path to be traveled by the motor vehicle. The electronic controller also has a simulation module (36) configured to simulate engine performance including effects from parasitic loads. Still further, the electronic controller includes a parasitic load control module (38) configured to adjust the timing for one or more of a regeneration process for an exhaust filter and at least one other parasitic load in order to maintain engine performance at or above a predetermined threshold.
