1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an internal information module structured to receive internal information regarding operation of a hybrid vehicle;
an external static information module structured to receive external static information for a route of the hybrid vehicle, wherein the external static information is based on a position of the hybrid vehicle on the route;
an external dynamic information module structured to receive external dynamic information for the route of the hybrid vehicle, wherein the external dynamic information is based on the position and a time of travel of the hybrid vehicle at the position; and
an engine stop/start module communicably coupled to each of the internal information module, the external static information module, and the external dynamic information module, wherein the engine stop/start module is structured to;
selectively enable and disable a stop/start function for the engine of the hybrid vehicle based on at least one of the internal information, the external static information, and the external dynamic information, wherein the stop/start function controls selective activation and deactivation of the engine during operation of the hybrid vehicle.

Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed provide for receiving internal information, external static information, and external dynamic information of a hybrid vehicle, and selectively enable or disable a stop/start function for the engine of the hybrid vehicle based on the internal hybrid vehicle information, external static information, and external dynamic information. The stop/start function controls selective activation and deactivation of the engine during operation of the hybrid vehicle.
