Abstract :
In this paper an embedded system for the pollution control in automobiles is described. In particular, the focus is on the description of the control algorithm, which receives, as an input, a signal from a MEMS accelerometer and uses it to control the fuel injection rate, in order to reduce the toxic emissions from the exhaust gases. A DSP implementation and simulation results of the same are detailed
