Selective catalyst reduction heat management method and system
The heat provided to a vehicle based SCR system may be managed by purposely increasing the load placed on the vehicle's engine such that the engine's exhaust gas temperature remains above a predetermined level. The energy generated by the extra load placed on the engine may be dissipated through an energy absorption device. The need for extra engine load may be anticipated to ensure adequate heat is provided to the SCR throughout various operating conditions.

An automatic remote grease reservoir filling system is provided for mobile machinery which has an installed automatic grease lubrication system. The filling system allows for an indication of low, prior to empty, reservoir quantity status to an operator station of the mobile machinery, which in turn allows for maintenance refill planning to occur in parallel with continued machine operation. An indication of full reservoir status can be made known remotely in the vicinity of a remote fill point, and other points as desired, distanced physically and or visually from the reservoir. Refill operations can be made remotely at the remote fill point which is distanced physically and or visually from the reservoir. Refill of the reservoir will stop automatically when full capacity is reached, prior to spillage. A replenishment flow can be manually shutoff at the fill point even though external supply flow pressure continues.
An automatic braking system for a motor vehicle includes a spring actuated parking brake, a service brake, a vehicle sensor, and a controller. When the service brake is in a switch applied actuated state, if it is determined that the energy source for the service brake is not sustainable, the controller controls the parking brake and the service brake so as to automatically actuate the parking brake and to automatically release the service brake from the actuated state Also, when the vehicle is stopped, in order to ensure that only one brake is securing the vehicle, and in order to ensure that the brake securing the vehicle is the brake with the most sustainable energy source, whenever the parking brake is applied, even if the energy source could maintain the service brake in the actuated state, the service brake will be automatically released.
A mechanical braking system is provided for a vehicle having an electric propulsion system which is utilized for retard speed regulation. While the retard speed regulation is normally performed via electric braking, in some conditions the electric braking is not able to maintain a desired speed for the vehicle. In this condition, upon receipt of a signal from the electric propulsion system, the mechanical braking system is automatically activated so as to maintain the vehicle at the desired speed.
In a system for alerting an operator of a vehicle to a highest priority fault condition, the operating conditions of the vehicle are obtained and compared to predetermined values in order to identify the fault conditions of the vehicle. Each of the fault conditions of the vehicle has a corresponding operator action associated therewith which identifies the actions that must be performed by the operator in order to manage the fault condition. By prioritizing the fault conditions on the basis of the operator actions that are necessary to manage the faults, the system is able to output to the operator only the operator action associated with the highest priority fault condition, without any compromise in safety or additional risk of damage to the vehicle, while providing the ability for the operator of the vehicle to manage all of the active fault conditions by performing only the operator action associated with the highest priority fault condition.
