A hybrid electric vehicle system comprises an internal combustion (IC) engine and an electric engine providing power to a drive shaft of the vehicle. The IC engine receives a fuel from a fuel tank. Exhaust gases from the IC engine are treated at an exhaust treatment apparatus including a reagent tank containing a reagent. A controller monitors a quality of the fuel in the fuel tank and the reagent in the reagent tank and if needed, initiates fuel degradation reduction event or a reagent degradation reduction event. These events can include running the IC engine even if a battery supplying power to the motor is not discharged. The fuel degradation reduction event includes dosing the fuel tank with an antioxidant to reduce the rate of degradation of the fuel.

In examples provided herein, a system in a vehicle comprises a processor and a memory including instructions executable by the processor to aggregate and transmit to a context-aware platform (CAP) diagnostic data for a vehicle; receive from the CAP responsive information based on analysis of the diagnostic data; and cause the responsive information to be audibly provided to a driver of the vehicle.

Disclosed is a method for protecting a vehicle clutch, including a check step for checking the mileage of a vehicle and the number of times a clutch wear compensation device is operated; after the check step, a calculation step for calculating a clutch thermal severity level, which indicates the degree of thermal severity of the clutch, based on the mileage and the number of times the wear compensation device is operated; and a control step for controlling at least one of the shifting pattern of the vehicle and engine RPM depending on the clutch thermal severity level, after the calculation step.

An on-board unit as a direction change detection device is configured to acquire a steered angle and a mileage of a vehicle at a time point at which a right turn event related to a right turn of the vehicle occurs when the right turn event occurs, and detect the right turn on condition that a maximum value of the steered angle is equal to or less than a first threshold value, and the mileage is equal to or greater than a second threshold value.

An on-board vehicle computing system stores values in a memory of a first engine control unit (ECU) and stores corresponding backup values in a memory of a second ECU. In this way, the second ECU provides data backup functionality for the first ECU's data. The system may retrieve a backup value from the first ECU and restore the corresponding value in the second ECU using the backup value. In one illustrative scenario, if an original engine ECU (EECU) fails and a replacement EECU is installed, the system can retrieve backup values for vehicle speed limiter (VSL) parameters from memory in a cab ECU (CECU) and update the corresponding data in the replacement EECU with the backup values.

A vehicle traveling support control apparatus includes a traveling environment determining portion that determines a traveling environment of a vehicle, a support device determining portion that determines a serviceable traveling support device from one or more traveling support devices mounted in the vehicle in accordance with the traveling environment determined by the traveling environment determining portion, a presentation portion that presents support guidance of the serviceable traveling support device, and a control portion that controls the presentation portion to present the support guidance of the serviceable traveling support device based on use frequency of the serviceable traveling support device determined by the support device determining portion.

Disclosed is a method for protecting a vehicle clutch, including a check step for checking the mileage of a vehicle and the number of times a clutch wear compensation device is operated; after the check step, a calculation step for calculating a clutch thermal severity level, which indicates the degree of thermal severity of the clutch, based on the mileage and the number of times the wear compensation device is operated; and a control step for controlling at least one of the shifting pattern of the vehicle and engine RPM depending on the clutch thermal severity level, after the calculation step.

A management server executes a process including: a step of acquiring operation information when an execution condition is established; a step of setting a traveling route; a step of calculating an accumulated amount of load when there is a vehicle set on the forwarding route; a step of setting the details of canceling the travel restriction according to the accumulated amount of the load of the vehicle on the forwarding route when there is a vehicle in a high accumulated state; a step of setting cancellation of travel restrictions for vehicles on the forwarding route when there is no vehicle in a high accumulation state; and a step of transmitting the travel plan information.

A computer-implemented method for providing a function recommendation in a vehicle is disclosed herein. The method includes loading a recommendation model, and receiving context information acquired from at least one sensor of the vehicle, the context information in particular comprising a geographical location of the vehicle. The method further includes determining at least one function including a vehicle function using the context information and the recommendation model, and providing a function recommendation associated with the vehicle function using a display or a voice assistant of the vehicle.

An apparatus for providing a distance to empty of a green vehicle includes a motor. A battery provides a driving voltage to the motor and includes a plurality of cells. A motor controller is configured to control driving and a torque of the motor. A battery manager is configured to control charge and discharge of the battery. A vehicle controller is configured to integratedly control the motor controller and the battery manager according to a state of the vehicle through a network. The vehicle controller calculates a first distance to empty (DTE) by using a past fuel efficiency, calculates a second DTE by using designated route driving information, and calculates a final DTE by using the first DTE and the second DTE.
