Abstract
A computer system including processing circuitry configured to control a vehicle, the processing circuitry being configured to: determine that an expected travelling route of the vehicle includes a downhill road segment followed by an uphill road segment; predict an engine exhaust condition of an engine of the vehicle, wherein the engine exhaust condition is expected to apply while driving the vehicle along the uphill road segment; determine a target temperature criterion for an exhaust aftertreatment system of the vehicle based on the predicted engine exhaust condition; and control the vehicle during the downhill road segment such that a temperature of the exhaust aftertreatment system meets the target temperature criterion at a beginning of the uphill road segment.
