Summary

For obvious reasons, engine-control systems were among the first developed for vehicles: The engine is not only the most crucial component for automobile performance; its emission performance also significantly affects the environment. As discussed in Chapter 1, engine-control systems may include fuel-injection control (i.e., air–fuel ratio control), ignition or spark-timing control, antiknock-control systems, idle-speed control, EGR control, and transmission control. The goal of engine-control systems is to ensure that the engine operates at near-optimal conditions at all times in terms of drivability, fuel economy, and emissions.

Overall, engine-control systems are complex due to the nonlinearity of many of the components and the interactions among the several related control functions: air–fuel ratio control, idle-speed control, knock (or spark-timing) control, EGR control, and transmission control. In this chapter, each major phase of the operation of a spark-ignited gasoline engine and its dynamic modeling is discussed from the control perspective. Subsequent chapters consider specific engine-control problems (e.g., air–fuel ratio control, spark timing, EGR, and idle-speed control), as well as control problems associated with hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles.
