Preface:

Increasing requirements for a fuel economy, exhaust emissions and the output performance and also the complexity of the automotive engines necessitate the development of a new generation of the engine control functionality. This book offers the solutions of a number of the engine control and estimation problems and consists of ten Chapters grouped in four Parts. Idle speed control and cylinder flow estimation techniques are presented in the first Part of the book; engine torque and friction estimation methods are presented in the second Part; engine misfire and Cam Profile Switching diagnostic methods are presented in the third Part; and engine knock detection and control algorithms are discussed in the fourth Part of the book. The algorithms presented in the first Part of the book use a mean value engine model and the techniques described in the rest of the book are based on the cylinder individual engine model. The book provides a sufficiently wide coverage of the engine functionality.
