AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to effectively adjust engine mapping to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions based on whether a vehicle is operating in an urban environment, especially when driving in congested traffic, where the driver's driving style has a significant impact on fuel consumption and emissions.

Method used

By using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication systems, it can determine whether a vehicle has entered an adjustable geofenced area and adjust acceleration control and engine mapping according to the area type to reduce engine torque response and emissions, improve engine efficiency, and reduce emissions.

Benefits of technology

Within urban areas, by adjusting acceleration control and engine mapping, vehicle fuel consumption and emissions are reduced, improving fuel economy and emissions compliance.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for vehicle operation. Methods and systems are provided for controlling a vehicle operating parameter as a function of whether the vehicle is operating within an area defined by an adjustable geographic boundary, which is defined based on wireless communication between the vehicle and infrastructure. In one example, a method includes determining that the vehicle has entered an area defined by an adjustable boundary, and adjusting a control map of an acceleration control of the vehicle in response to the determination. In this way, fuel economy, emissions, and customer satisfaction can be improved.
