Systems and methods for managing aftertreatment systems

A system comprising:

• a controller coupled to an engine and an aftertreatment system of the system, the controller configured to:
• receive information regarding an upcoming route of a vehicle;
• determine a predicted load on a vehicle during the route based on the received information;
• adjust at least one of (i) a temperature of the aftertreatment system via controlling an engine coupled to the aftertreatment system, a hydrocarbon insertion assembly, or a heater coupled to the aftertreatment system, or (ii) an amount of a reductant inserted into the aftertreatment system via controlling a reductant insertion assembly based on the predicted load;
• determine a predicted cruise operation of the vehicle based on the predicted load;
• and
• in response to determining that the predicted cruise operation of the vehicle is active with speed modulation, pause or disable a reductant diagnostic.

A method, comprising:

• determining a predicted load on a vehicle during a route, the vehicle including an aftertreatment system coupled to an engine;
• adjusting at least one of a temperature of the aftertreatment system or an amount of a reductant inserted into the aftertreatment system based on the predicted load;
• and
• selectively causing engine braking via controlling the engine so to heat the aftertreatment system.

A system comprising:

• an electromagnetic device;
• and
• a controller coupled to the electromagnetic device, an engine, and an aftertreatment system, the controller configured to:
• determine a predicted load on at least a part of the system;
• adjust at least one of a temperature of the aftertreatment system or an amount of a reductant inserted into the aftertreatment system based on the predicted load;
• and
• balance a power load between the engine of the system and the electromagnetic device so as to exert a predetermined load on the engine for substantially maintaining a temperature of the aftertreatment system.
