Abstract :
Nonlinear control methods for automotive electronic throttle control systems (ETC) are developed using the theory of sliding-mode servo control. Experimental results reveal the advantages of the proposed methods. The motivation for this research stems from the fact that the ETC shows highly nonlinear property due to two springs mounted for fail-safe, and that the rise time is required to be as small as possible without overshoot. It is shown that the sliding-mode control is effective for such a situation
