Dynamic programming for Integrated Emission Management in diesel engines

Integrated Emission Management (IEM) is a supervisory control strategy that aims at minimizing the operational costs of diesel engines with an aftertreatment system, while satisfying emission constraints imposed by legislation. In previous work on IEM, a suboptimal real-time implementable solution was proposed, which was based on Pontryagin's...

Integrated powertrain control for optimizing CO2-NOx emission trade-off in heavy duty hybrid electric vehicles

Energy management in modern vehicles typically relates to optimizing the powerflow in the (hybrid) powertrain, whereas emission management is associated with the combustion engine and its aftertreatment system. To achieve maximum performance in both fuel economy and hazardous emissions, the concept of Integrated Powertrain Control (IPC) is...
