Abstract
Global demands in fuel economy and lower emissions are having an increasing impact on the development of automotive Engine Management Systems (EMS). Cylinder Pressure based EMS (CPEMS) technology has attracted much attention in recent years because of the potential benefits in engine performance and reliability. AENEAS, a collaborative project between Ricardo, DaimlerChrysler, EADS and Kistler with part funding from the European Commission and the Swiss Government, has demonstrated the benefits of this technology on a vehicle. The key in realising such benefits lies in the combination of inexpensive robust sensors based on Silicon on Insulator chip technology, and model-based control and diagnostics algorithms.
This paper describes the background to this project. It provides details of the sensing technology and describes the development and implementation of control and diagnostics algorithms on a Mercedes Benz E320 vehicle. Results are included to demonstrate the benefits of this new technology.
