|Project Title |Automotive Engine and Driveline Control by Controller Area Network (CAN) Systems with Add2 Ltd. |
|Project Description |
|The latest engine management systems (EMSs) use computer area network technology. Automotive manufacturers are exploring the limits of what |
|can be done with this technology, especially to allow more powerful ways of controlling the more complex new technology engines such as |
|Gasoline-Direct Injection engines. This project, which will be a cooperative project, with the leading automotive electronics company Add2 |
|Ltd, is develop a design approach to engine and driveline control systems using CAN technology with a view to |
| |
|Establishing a time efficient generic engine calibration process |
|Developing tools to design feedback and feedforward controllers for implementation in CAN hardware software configurations |
|Determining optimum control software structures for future system specification |
|Extending the performance beyond existing non CAN controllers |
| |
|This proposal is develop a systematic automotive control method, which is generally applicable across a range of different engine types. A |
|particular issue that will be addressed is the robustness of controls to time delays caused by overloading of the network. New nonparameteric|
|identification techniques will be used to characterise the engine or driveline dynamics and new nonparameteric robust control techniques will|
|be used in the controller design methodology. |
| |
|Applicants should have an interest in developing their computer hardware and software skills and should have an interest in control theory. |
|The project will involve extensive use of Matlab/Simulink Real-Time-Workshop and dSPACE control systems. The skill sets that will be acquired|
|during the project are currently in shortage and in great demand in industry. |
| |
|The project will use the existing Liverpool Engine-Dynamometer and Chassis-Dynamometer facilities in the Liverpool Powertrain Control |
|Laboratory. |
