Abstract:
An apparatus and method for controlling engine start/stop operations based at least in part on considerations relating to the thermal management of an exhaust gas after-treatment system. A control system may monitor and/or predict conditions and/or properties of the after-treatment system, including conditions related to the thermal management of a selective catalytic reduction system and the properties of an exhaust gas stream that has been released from an internal combustion engine and into the after-treatment system. Such conditions may be evaluated in determining whether the thermal management of the after-treatment system is at, or will be in, a condition that may accommodate a start/stop operation of the internal combustion engine with minimal, if any, adverse impact on the thermal management of the after-treatment system. Such an evaluation may, in at least certain situations, provide at least a consideration as to whether to de-activate or activate start/stop operations.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the thermal property comprises an inlet temperature of an exhaust gas stream at an inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system, and wherein the determined status of the managed one or more thermal properties indicates whether the inlet temperature of the exhaust gas stream at the inlet of the selective catalytic reduction system is below a minimum inlet exhaust gas temperature.
