R&D themes
R&D work in the field of engine control is developed by the Technology, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics Division.
The use of models in a generic sense is widely practiced. These uses are often all grouped together under the term "model-based Design" for engine control (See Technology, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics Division).
R&D work leads to innovative results concerning:
-
the air loop
-
the fuel loop
-
estimation of the composition of fuel in Flex fuel (or natural gas) engines
-
the treatment of combustion gases
-
control of the powertrain part, where various actuators are considered: thermal or electric engines, clutches, alternators, gear boxes, etc.
- energy management and optimization in hybrid vehicles.
