A method and system for mitigating a urea deposit within an SCR system that includes determining a mass of an accumulated urea deposit present within the SCR catalyst and SCR piping, comparing the mass of the accumulated urea deposit with a deposit upper threshold limit, and initiating an SCR regeneration event when the mass of the accumulated urea deposit is greater than the deposit upper threshold limit. The method further includes determining an amount of NHpassing through the SCR catalyst downstream of the urea deposit, comparing the amount of NHpassing through the SCR catalyst with an NHregeneration threshold limit, and terminating the SCR regeneration event when the level of NHpassing through the SCR catalyst is less than the SCR NHregeneration threshold.

An engine starting system and technique include selecting a target engine speed profile from a plurality of engine speed profiles based on operator inputs and operating parameters of the vehicle. A feedback control strategy is used to substantially conform the engine speed with the target speed profile during starting until a target speed is reached in which fueling is initiated to start the engine.

Systems and methods for optimization and control of internal combustion engine starting

Unique apparatuses, systems, methods, and techniques for control of engine systems are disclosed. One embodiment is a unique controls process providing engine start/stop functionality. In one form, the controls process includes engine stop controls which evaluate a plurality of engine stop request conditions and a plurality of engine stop capability conditions, as well as engine start controls which evaluate a plurality of engine start request conditions and a plurality of engine start capability conditions.

Engine start/stop function management and control architecture

An exhaust aftertreatment system includes an oxidation catalyst and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst disposed in an exhaust stream of an internal combustion engine. A stay warm thermal management strategy is employed after warm-up of the aftertreatment system is complete to maintain the aftertreatment system above a temperature providing a desired performance threshold of one or more components of the aftertreatment system, such as the oxidation catalyst or the SCR catalyst.
