Engine calibration is a process of optimizing engine settings so that optimal engine
performance, like minimum fuel consumption, minimum pollutant gas emissions, maximum …

As type approval driving cycles were found to be insufficient to represent the real impact of
emissions from on-road vehicles, it became clear that real-driving emissions must be …

In-cylinder pressure-based closed-loop combustion control is a critical technology used to
address the issue of cylinder-to-cylinder inhomogeneity throughout the life cycle of a modern …

A control-oriented model of spark ignition combustion is presented. The model makes use of
avaliable signals, such as spark advance, air mass, intake pressure, and lambda, to …

To improve the transient-state combustion phase control performance and adapt to the shift
of engine dynamics, this paper presents an on-board calibration scheme to control the …

This paper focuses on analysis and control of the ignition timing of spark ignition (SI)
engines to maximize fuel efficiency, in which the optimal reference of combustion phase and …

For engine control, combustion phase is the most effective and direct parameter to improve
fuel efficiency. In this paper, the statistical control strategy based on hypothesis test criterion …

Two-stroke Aviation Piston Engines are multivariable systems with severe non-linear
dynamics, making their modeling challenging for control engineers. Although many studies …

This paper presents a route-optimized drive mode switching control method for plug-in
hybrid vehicles (PHVs) and its experimental validation. The research objective is to reduce …

Cylinder-to-cylinder combustion dispersion in internal combustion engines might be caused
by various factors (eg manufacturing variations of the injectors or nozzle coking) which can …
