Abstract

Starting the engine and quickly adjusting the engine speed to the target value after that will always be a challenge for vehicles with an internal combustion engines at development sites in the automotive industry. The SICE Research Committee on Advanced Powertrain Control Theory provided this task as a benchmark problem with the engine model. Just as control developers in the industry are provided actual engines, many of the academic experts have acquired engine models, analyzed behavior and constructed controls, and solved control tasks. We summarize this activity by explaining the methods by many challengers that achieved the target performance.
