Abstract
Systems and methods to control operation of a system based on aftertreatment interaction include a controller structured to receive one or more parameters associated with an exhaust aftertreatment system of an electric vehicle, where the one or more parameters are associated with an aftertreatment event associated with the aftertreatment system, determine an operation state of the system based on the one or more parameters, and generate a command structured to adjust operation of the system responsive to the determination of the operation state.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processing circuits communicably coupled with a vehicle system of an electric vehicle and an exhaust aftertreatment system of the electric vehicle, the one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors including an aftertreatment management circuit and a component management circuit, the one or more memory devices structured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, via the aftertreatment management circuit, one or more parameters associated with the exhaust aftertreatment system, the one or more parameters being associated with an aftertreatment event associated with the exhaust aftertreatment system;
- determine, via the component management circuit, an operation state of the vehicle system based on the one or more parameters;
- and
- generate, via the component management circuit, a command structured to adjust operation of the vehicle system responsive to the determination of the operation state of the vehicle system, wherein the command is structured to schedule, based on a time, powering of the vehicle system.
An apparatus structured to control operation of a vehicle system of an electric vehicle based on one or more parameters associated with an exhaust aftertreatment system, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processing circuits communicably coupled with the vehicle system of the electric vehicle and the exhaust aftertreatment system of the electric vehicle, the one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors including an aftertreatment management circuit and a component management circuit, the one or more memory devices structured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, via the aftertreatment management circuit, the one or more parameters associated with the exhaust aftertreatment system of the electric vehicle, the one or more parameters being associated with an aftertreatment event associated with the exhaust aftertreatment system;
- determine, via the component management circuit, an operation state of the vehicle system of the electric vehicle based on the one or more parameters;
- and
- generate, via the component management circuit, a command structured to adjust operation of the vehicle system responsive to the determination of the operation state of the vehicle system, wherein the command is structured to schedule, based on a time, powering of the vehicle system.
A method for controlling operation of a vehicle system of an electric vehicle based on one or more parameters associated with an exhaust aftertreatment system, the method comprising:
- receiving, via an aftertreatment management circuit, one or more parameters associated with the exhaust aftertreatment system of the electric vehicle, the one or more parameters being associated with an aftertreatment event associated with the exhaust aftertreatment system;
- determining, via a component management circuit, an operation state of the vehicle system of the electric vehicle based on the one or more parameters;
- and
- generating, via the component management circuit, a command structured to adjust operation of the vehicle system based on the determined operation state of the vehicle system, wherein the command is structured to schedule, based on a time, powering of the vehicle system.
