Synthesis for Idle Speed Control of an Automotive Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of maintaining the crankshaft speed of an automotive engine within a given set interval (idle speed control), is formalized as a constrained control problem using a hybrid model of the engine. The control problem is difficult because the system has delays and a large number of constraints. The approach for the synthesis of a controller for this system is based on the theory developed for affine systems on polytopes. A structured control synthesis procedure is applied in which constraints for state and input variables are backward propagated from the controlled output (the crankshaft speed) across successive subsystems.

Optimal Idle Speed Control of a Natural Aspirated Gasoline Engine Using Bio-inspired Meta- heuristic Algorithms
In order to lowering level of emissions of internal combustion engines (ICEs), they should be optimally controlled. However, ICEs operate under numerous operating conditions, which in turn makes it difficult to design controller for such nonlinear systems. In this article, a generalized unique controller for idle speed control under whole loading conditions is designed. In the current study, in...

Combustion in the cylinder of a spark ignition engine, particularly under low load conditions, is subject to cycleby-cycle variations due to factors such as mixture quality and quantity and internal exhaust gas recirculation. The major result of this phenomenon is an increase in the variability of indicated engine torque at a given engine operating point. Automotive control problems dealing wit...
