Benchmark problem for nonlinear identification of automotive engine

The joint research committee of JSAE and SICE on automotive control and modeling was established to evolve the automotive control in 2010. It has decided to develop three benchmark problems to promote collaborations between academia and the automotive industry. The benchmark problems were developed according to current interests of the automotive industry. This paper describes a benchmark problem of the nonlinear identification on an in-cycle gasoline engine simulator of which the model order is over 50. The challengers are requested to identify a simple model that recreate the simulation data accurately and also determine the simulation conditions to obtain the minimum data used for their identifications.
