Tutorial of model-based powertrain and aftertreatment system control design and implementation

This paper introduces the needs for applying model-based control techniques to vehicle powertrain and aftertreatment systems. A tutorial overview of model-based control techniques and methodologies for modern powertrain and aftertreatment systems is presented and compared with the traditional approaches. The control-oriented powertrain and aftertreatment system modeling techniques are also addressed along with their real-time simulation requirement for HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) simulations. The application examples of the model-based control of internal combustion engine, transmission, and aftertreatment systems are given in detail.
