SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR DRIVER OPTIMIZATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a performance criteria module structured to interpret a performance criteria for a vehicle;
a behavior module structured to interpret a good driver definition value, wherein the good driver definition value includes a definition for relating an actuator response value to an actuator input value for at least one actuator of the vehicle;
an operating condition module structured to interpret vehicle operation data indicative of an operating condition of the vehicle; and
an actuator module communicably coupled to the performance criteria module, the behavior module, and the operating condition module, wherein the actuator module is structured to manage a response value of the at least one actuator of the vehicle in response to the performance criteria and the good driver definition value based on the interpreted operating condition.

Abstract
The systems, methods, and apparatuses provided herein disclose interpreting a performance criteria for a vehicle, wherein the performance criteria is indicative of a desired operating parameter for the vehicle; interpreting a good driver definition value indicative of a good driver profile for the interpreted performance criteria; determining a performance value indicative of how an operator of the vehicle is performing with respect to the good driver definition value; and in response to the performance value indicating that the vehicle is not satisfying the performance criteria, managing an actuator output response value for at least one actuator in the vehicle to facilitate achievement of the good driver definition value.

21. A vehicle, comprising:
-
an engine; a throttle system operatively coupled to the engine; and a controller communicably and operatively coupled to the engine and the throttle system, wherein the controller is structured to; interpret a performance criteria for the vehicle, wherein the performance criteria is indicative of a desired operating parameter for the vehicle; interpret a good driver definition value indicative of a good driver profile for the interpreted performance criteria; determine a performance value indicative of how an operator of the vehicle is performing with respect to the good driver definition value; and in response to the performance value indicating that the vehicle is not satisfying the performance criteria, managing an actuator output response value for at least one actuator in the vehicle to facilitate achievement of the good driver definition value. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
