Abstract
To meet increasingly stringent emission legislations, improving the combustion efficiency becomes essential in the development of modern gasoline engines. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of available methods to improve the spark timing for maximum break torque under use of the in-cylinder pressure signal. The suitability of a series-compatible pressure sensor for the use of ignition angle control is summarized and reviewed. Finally, the results of spark timing control in a test vehicle are discussed on base of chassis dyno measurements.
