Abstract

Modern automotive engines rely increasingly on high performance estimation and control algorithms to deliver the expected performance benefits. This paper discusses a number of control problems and issues that arise in the design of a charge controller for a lean-burn direct injection spark ignition engine with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). To deal with uncertainties and parameter variations that can significantly affect the engine performance, the use of feedback and adaptive controllers is shown to be essential
