Methods and systems are provided for improving a balance between engine fuel economy and exhaust emissions in an off-highway vehicle. One example method includes adjusting an engine injection timing based on an ambient NOx level estimated by a NOx sensor in the engine intake. Another example method includes adjusting a trip plan with a time in notch duty cycle based on a deviation from the time in notch duty cycle from a reference duty cycle.

1. A method of operating a combustion engine, the method comprising, adjusting an engine injection timing based on an ambient NOx level estimated by a first NOx sensor coupled with an engine intake. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the adjustment includes, retarding injection timing as the ambient NOx level exceeds a threshold. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the adjustment further includes, increasing vehicle fuel economy when the ambient NOx level is lower than the threshold. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising, indicating degradation in response to a difference between the ambient NOx level and an exhaust NOx level exceeding a threshold. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the exhaust NOx level is estimated by a second NOx sensor in an engine exhaust. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the exhaust NOx level is inferred based on engine operating conditions including engine speed and load. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the combustion engine is included in an off-highway vehicle, the off-highway vehicle including a train with a plurality of locomotives, an ambient NOx level for each locomotive estimated by a NOx sensor in the engine intake of each locomotive. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the adjustment includes adjusting an engine injection timing for each locomotive based on the ambient NOx level of each locomotive, and further based on a location of the locomotive. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the adjustment includes retarding an injection timing of each locomotive as the ambient NOx level of each locomotive exceeds a threshold. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein a threshold for each locomotive is adjusted based on a distance from a lead locomotive. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the adjustment includes increasing the threshold for a locomotive as the distance from the lead locomotive increases. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising, further increasing the threshold when the train is in a tunnel. 13. A method of operating a train, comprising, adjusting an engine injection timing of the train based on an ambient regulated emissions level estimated by a regulated emissions sensor in an engine intake. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the regulated emissions includes one or more of NOx, CO2, CO, S, and particulate matters (PMs). 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the adjustment includes retarding an injection timing to reduce an exhaust regulated emissions level when the ambient regulated emissions level is greater than a threshold. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the adjustment includes retarding an injection timing to reduce an exhaust NOx level when an ambient NOx level is greater than a threshold; and adjusting an injection timing to reduce an exhaust CO2 level when the ambient NOx level is lower than the threshold. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising, indicating degradation in response to a difference between the ambient regulated emissions level and an exhaust regulated emissions level being greater than a threshold, the exhaust regulated emissions level estimated by a second regulated emissions sensor in an engine exhaust and/or inferred based on engine operating conditions. 18. A train system, comprising, a first lead locomotive, an engine intake of the first lead locomotive including a first NOx sensor;a second remote locomotive, an engine intake of the second remote locomotive including a second NOx sensor;one or more cars coupled between the first lead locomotive and the second remote locomotive; anda control system having computer readable storage medium with code therein, the code carrying instructions for,adjusting an engine injection timing of the first lead locomotive and the second remote locomotive based on an ambient NOx level estimated by the first NOx sensor. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the adjustment includes, retarding an engine injection timing of the first lead locomotive and the second remote locomotive as the ambient NOx level estimated by the first NOx sensor exceeds a threshold. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the control system further includes code for further retarding an engine injection timing of the second remote locomotive as a number of cars between the first lead locomotive and the second remote locomotive increases. 21. The system of claim 19, wherein the engine injection timing of the first lead locomotive and the second remote locomotive is further retarded when passing through a tunnel.
