Systems and methods for managing or controlling an automatic engine restart system of a vehicle are provided herein. The method is operative to disable automatic engine restarts during specified restart inhibit periods to improve the comfort of the operator of the vehicle and others near the vehicle (e.g., during hoteling) or to satisfy regulations (e.g. silent area or green zone). During times outside of the specified restart inhibit periods, the method may control the automatic restarts to provide a determined level of charge for a rechargeable electrical energy source (e.g., battery) of the vehicle at a time just prior to the restart inhibit period so that the electrical energy source will be able to power various loads for an extended time during the restart inhibit period. The system includes a local or remote user interface that allows various parameters to be programmed. The system may also include an energy management system that optimizes the automatic restarts to achieve various goals.
