Various systems and methods are provided for adjusting operating parameters of an internal combustion engine. In one example, a system may include adjusting an amount of advance of a fuel injection timing of a plurality of fuel injectors of an internal combustion engine relative to top dead center (TDC) responsive to engine output demand, where, as the engine output demand increases, the amount of advance first decreases and then increases. In this way, an amount of vehicle emissions may be decreased while an amount of fuel consumption is decreased.

Systems and methods of controlling operation of a diesel engine using feedforward load anticipation. An electronic controller determines a difference between an actual engine speed value of the diesel engine and a desired engine speed value, and generates a feedback control command based on the determined difference. In response to detecting one or more conditions indicative of an anticipated mechanical load event that will alter a total mechanical load of the diesel engine, the electronic controller applies a feedforward offset to the feedback control command in accordance with a feedback offset function. The feedback offset function causes the magnitude of the feedback offset to decrease over a period of time until the offset returns to zero (i.e., a signal decay function). The diesel engine is then operated based on the feedback control command and the feedforward offset.

A controller for an internal combustion engine, a control method for an internal combustion engine, and a memory medium are provided. The controller determines whether an execution request of a temperature-increasing process for an aftertreatment device for exhaust gas has been issued. When the execution request is determined as having been issued, supply of fuel by a fuel injection valve corresponding to a specified cylinder is deactivated. The specified cylinder is one of cylinders. An air-fuel ratio of air-fuel mixture in a cylinder of the cylinders that differs from the specified cylinder is set to be richer than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. When the temperature-increasing process is executed, an adjustment device is operated so as to reduce the fuel concentration in an intake port connected to the specified cylinder.

Systems for efficiently starting an engine of a hybrid electric vehicle are provided. An example of a system comprises a first processor and a second processor. The second processor is configured to determine when to start an internal combustion engine, cause energy to be supplied from an energy storage device to a generator/motor to cause the generator/motor and crankshaft to rotate to at least a hold speed, transmit a first instruction to a first processor when determining that the internal combination engine should be started. The first processor does not supply fuel to at least one cylinder of the internal combustion engine in response to the first instruction. The second processor is configured to transmit a second instruction to the first processor after a variable period of time has elapse after the generator/motor or crankshaft has reached at least the hold speed.

A position sensor of the present invention includes: a magnet that moves together with a moving body; a magnetic sensor that detects a magnetic flux generated by the magnet; and a detector that detects an anomaly of the magnetic sensor based on a detection value detected by the magnetic sensor. The magnetic sensor is set so as to detect the detection value taking a value on a locus preset in accordance with a position of the moving body, and the locus is set so that a change rate of the detection value corresponding to change of the position of the moving body differs for each of a plurality of sections set within a movement range of the moving body. The detector detects the anomaly of the magnetic sensor based on a relation between the detection value and a comparison value that is a value corresponding to the locus.

An internal combustion engine includes an internal combustion engine body including an intake valve and an exhaust valve, and a controller configured or programmed to perform a control to set a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine body to a predetermined rotational speed based on an environmental temperature at a time of starting the internal combustion engine body, and perform a control to drive the internal combustion engine body at the set predetermined rotational speed during a time period until when fuel is supplied to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine body and first ignition is performed.

A control device for a multi-stage automatic transmission-equipped vehicle includes a hydraulic power controller, a combustion controller configured to, if a predetermined combustion stop condition is satisfied when the vehicle is traveling, perform deceleration-period combustion stop control, and limit combustion restart triggered by a reduction in rotational speed of an internal combustion engine, during execution of the deceleration-period combustion stop control, and a motoring controller configured to control the rotational drive of the internal combustion engine by a motor during execution of the deceleration-period combustion stop control so that the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine is maintained at a predetermined rotational speed during a period of time from the time that the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine decreases to the predetermined rotational speed until downshifting to a predetermined gear ratio is completed.

A control device is for at least two traction engines of a railway vehicle. The control device includes an estimation module configured to estimate a traction power requirement of the rail vehicle as a function of at least one position signal of the rail vehicle, a determination module configured to determine a required operating state of each engine based on the power requirement, an adaptation module configured to determine, from the required operating state of each engine, an adapted operating state of said engine as a function of at least one specific parameter relating to the operation of the rail vehicle, and an emission module configured to emit a control signal to each engine.

Method for controlling an internal combustion engine of an agricultural vehicle comprising the following steps, acquisition of a rated torque curve of said internal combustion engine, as a function of a rotation speed of said internal combustion engine, selection of a predefined speed value (PTS) of the internal combustion engine, introduction of a modified torque curve having torque values increased for speeds below said predefined speed value (PTS), switching from said rated torque curve to said modified torque curve when at least one operating condition has occurred.

Embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein relate to controlling engine operating points and power for full throttle command in an off-highway vehicle, such as a diesel electric haul truck, to increase fuel efficiency. In one example, a system includes an engine and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a target engine horsepower and associated target engine speed, command the engine to operate at a first engine speed above the target engine speed, adjust a load placed on the engine to reach the target engine speed, and command the engine to operate at a second engine speed to reach the target engine horsepower.
