With more and stringent requirements on driving comfort, safety fuel economy, polytopic LPV approaches have become popular in intelligent automotive control systems due to their merits dealing with the complex nonlinearities. This survey starts a review theory of systems. Stability analysis controller design are provided techniques obtaining less conservative results. Then, some key application...

In this work a mathematical model for the dynamic thermal and the macrokinetic conversion behavior of a commercial automotive three-way exhaust catalytic converter is developed and parameterized with independent measurements. In spite of its relative simplicity the developed model is comprehensive enough to cover the major phenomena relevant for catalyst conversion under light-off conditions an...

Urea line heating system is critical for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment under low temperature environment. Traditionally, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) motivates urea lines command and diagnostics directly. This paper illustrates a Controller Area Network (CAN)-based heater architecture development SCR system, as well generation. The CAN-based validated on vehicle experi...
