Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to engines, and more particularly, to methods for using pedal position and/or pedal rate in controlling engines.
- Spark ignition engines typically have a gas pedal that is connected to an air throttle that meters air into engine. Stepping on the gas pedal typically opens the air throttle, which allows more air into the engine.
- a fuel injector controller adjusts the fuel that is provided to the engine to maintain a desired air/fuel ratio (AFR).
- AFR is typically held close to a stoichiometric ratio to produce stoichiometric combustion, which helps minimizes engine emissions and allows three-way catalysts to simultaneously remove hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen (NOX).
- Compression ignition engines e.g. diesel engines
- diesel engines typically do not operate at stoichiometric ratios, and thus greater emissions and different emission components often result. Because diesel engines are now making real headway into the car and light truck markets, federal regulations have been passed requiring more stringent emission levels for diesel engines.
- the pedal of a diesel engine is typically not directly connected to an air throttle that meters air into engine. Instead, in diesel engines with electronic fuel injection (EFI), the pedal position is sensed by a pedal position sensor, and the sensed pedal position is used to control the fuel rate provided to the engine, which allows more or less fuel per fuel pump shot. In many modern diesel engines, the air to the engine is typically controlled by a turbocharger, often a Variable Nozzle Turbocharger (VNT) or waste-gate turbocharger.
- VNT Variable Nozzle Turbocharger
- diesel engines typically operate at about twice as lean as spark so ignition engines. As such, the oxygen level in the exhaust of a diesel engine can be at a level where standard emission sensors do not provide useful information. At the same time, diesel engines typically burn too lean for conventional three-way catalysts. As such, control over combustion in a diesel engine is often performed in an “open-loop” manner, often relying on engine maps or the like to generate set points for the intake manifold parameters that are believed to be favorable for acceptable exhaust emissions.
- after-treatment is often required to help clean up exhaust emissions in a diesel engine.
- after-treatment includes a “flow through oxidation” catalyst system, which typically does not have any controls. Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and most significantly those hydrocarbons that are adsorbed on particulates can sometimes be cleaned up when the conditions are right.
- Some after-treatment systems include particulate filters. These particulate filters, however, must typically be periodically cleaned often by burning off the soot particulate which has been collected on the filter to “Regenerate” the filter surface. Increasing the exhaust gas temperature is the primary way to initiate Regeneration, and injecting additional fuel in-cylinder or into an exhaust burner is one method. The control of this type of after-treatment may be based on a pressure sensor or on distance traveled, often in an open loop manner.
- the present invention relates to systems and methods for using pedal position and/or pedal change rate in the fuel side and/or air side control of an engine.
- an engine controller may anticipate future fuel and/or air needs of the engine, and adjust the fuel profile and/or air profile to meet those anticipated needs. This may help improve the responsiveness, performance and emissions of the engine.
- the present invention may be adapted for use with an internal combustion engine.
- the engine may have a fueling profile that defines the fuel that is delivered to the engine.
- the engine may also have an air charge profile that, in some cases is measured or monitored using intake manifold MAP, MAF and/or MAT sensors, that defines the air that is provided to the engine.
- the fueling profile is at least partially controlled by the pedal position.
- a pedal change rate of the pedal position is identified, and an engine controller controls the air profile based, at least in part, on the pedal change rate.
- the fueling profile may also be controlled based, at least in part, on the pedal change rate.
- a current pedal change rate and/or pedal position may be used, and in other cases, a current and/or one or more past pedal change rate and/or pedal position values may be used, as desired.
- the engine may have a turbocharger that boosts the manifold air pressure (MAP).
- MAP manifold air pressure
- the boosted MAP may be used to help control the air profile that is provided to the engine.
- the MAP may be controlled based, at least in part, on the pedal change rate and/or pedal position. For example, if the pedal change rate is positive and relatively large, the MAP set point may be increased with little or no delay to meet the anticipated near term air needs of the engine. Thus may help reduce the effects of turbo lag, and may help reduce engine emissions.
- the engine may also include an exhaust recirculation valve for providing a selected amount of exhaust recirculation to the air that is provided to the engine. It is contemplated that the amount of exhaust recirculation may be based, at least in part, on the pedal change rate and/or pedal position. This may help reduce the emissions of the engine, particularly under transient operating conditions.
- an air side controller may receive a fueling rate signal from a fuel side controller. A fuel change rate of the fueling rate may be determined. The air side controller may then adjust the air profile that is provide to the engine based, at least in part, on the rate of change in the fuel rate. In some cases, the fuel rate may be controlled, at least in part, on the pedal change rate and/or pedal position.

- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an illustrative diesel engine system in accordance with the present invention.
- the illustrative diesel engine system is generally shown at 10 , and includes a diesel engine 20 that has an intake manifold 22 and an exhaust manifold 24 .
- a fuel injector 28 provides fuel to the engine 20 .
- the fuel injector 28 may be a single fuel injector, but more commonly may include a number of fuel injectors that are independently controllable.
- a fuel injector controller 26 is provided to control the fuel injector(s) 38 such that the fuel injector(s) 28 provide a desired fuel profile to the engine 20 .
- fuel “profile”, as used herein, may include any number of fuel parameters or characteristics including, for example, fuel delivery rate, change in fuel delivery rate, fuel timing, fuel pre-injection event(s), fuel post-injection event(s), fuel pulses, and/or any other fuel delivery characteristics, as desired.
- fuel side actuators may be used to control these and other fuel parameters, as desired.
- the fuel injector controller 26 may receive and use any number of input signals to produce the desired fuel profile.
- the illustrative fuel injector controller 26 receives a pedal position signal 66 , an intake Manifold Air Flow (MAF) signal 50 , an Engine Speed signal 68 , and an Air-Fuel-Ratio (AFR) Low Limit signal 70 .
- These signals are only illustrative.

- VNT variable nozzle turbine
- any suitable turbocharger may be used including, for example, a waste gated turbocharger, or a variable geometry inlet nozzle turbocharger (VGT) with an actuator to operate the waste gate or VGT vane set.
- VNT variable geometry inlet nozzle turbocharger
- the illustrative VNT turbocharger uses adjustable vanes inside an exhaust scroll to change the angle of attack of the incoming exhaust gasses as they strike the exhaust turbine 30 .
- the angle of attack of the vanes, and thus the amount of boost (MAP) pressure provided by the compressor 34 may be controlled by a VNT SET signal 42 .
- a VNT position signal 46 is provided to indicate the current vane position.
- a turbo speed signal 48 may also be provided to indicate the current turbine speed. In some cases, it may be desirable to limit the turbo speed to help prevent damage to the turbine 30 .
- the turbine 30 may include an electrical motor assist (not explicitly shown). However, this is not required in all embodiments.
- the electric motor assist may help increase the speed of the turbine 30 and thus the boost pressure provided by the compressor 34 to the intake manifold 22 . This may be particularly useful when the engine is at low engine RPMs and when higher boost pressure is desired, such as under high acceleration conditions. Under these conditions, the exhaust gas flow may be insufficient to generate the desired boost (MAP) pressure at the intake manifold 22 .
- MAP boost

- An EGR POSITION output signal 62 may also be provided, if desired, which may indicate the current position of the EGR valve 58 .
- an EGR cooler 64 may be provided either upstream or downstream of the EGR valve 58 to help cool the exhaust gas before it is provided to the intake manifold 22 .
- one or more EGR cooler control signals 69 may be provided to the EGR cooler 64 to help control the temperature of the recirculated exhaust gas.

- the sensors shown in FIG. 1 are only illustrative, and it is contemplated that more or less sensors may be provided, as desired.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an illustrative air-side controller for use with the illustrative diesel engine system of FIG. 1 .
- the illustrative air-side controller is generally shown at 80 , and receives a number of engine parameters to help provide air-side control to the engine 20 .
- the air-side controller 80 receives input signals such as the MAP sensor output 52 , the MAF sensor output 50 , the MAT sensor output 53 , the turbo speed signal 48 , the NOX sensor output 56 and/or the PM sensor output 54 , all shown in FIG. 1 .
- These input parameters are only illustrative, and it is contemplated that more or less input parameters may be received, depending on the application.
- the air-side controller 80 may receive a pedal position signal 66 and/or a fuel profile signal as shown, but this is not required or even desired in some embodiments.
- the illustrative air-side controller 80 may provide a number of control outputs to help provide air-side control to the engine 20 .
- the air-side controller 80 may provide the VNT SET signal 42 , the EGR SET signal 60 , and in some cases, the COMP. COOLER SET signal, the EGR COOLER Set signal, and the ETURBO signal 44 shown in FIG. 1 .
- the air-side controller may be a multivariable Model Predictive Controller (MPC).
- MPC may include a model of the dynamic process of engine operation, and provide predictive control signals to the engine subject to constraints in control variables and measured output variables.
- the models may be static and/or dynamic, depending on the application. In some cases, the models produce one or more output signals y(t) from one or more input signals u(t).
- a dynamic model typically contains a static model plus information about the time response of the system. Thus, a dynamic model is often of higher fidelity than a static model.
- y(t) which is the output at time t, is based on the current input u(t), one or more past inputs u(t ⁇ 1), . . . , u(t ⁇ n), and also on one or more past outputs y(t ⁇ 1) . . . y(t ⁇ m).
- a static model as shown is a simple matrix multiplier.
- a static model typically has no “memory” of the inputs u(t ⁇ 1), u(t ⁇ 2) . . . or outputs y(t ⁇ 1) . . . etc. As a result, a static model can be simpler, but may be less powerful in modeling some dynamic system parameters.
- the system dynamics can be relatively complicated and several of the interactions may have characteristics known as “non-minimum phase”. This is a dynamic response where the output y(t), when exposed to a step in input u(t), will initially move in one direction, and then turn around and move towards its steady state in the opposite direction.
- the soot emission in a diesel engine is just one example.
- these dynamics may be important for optimal operation of the control system.
- dynamic models are often preferred, at least when modeling some control parameters.
- the MPC may include a multivariable model that models the effect of changes in one or more actuators of the engine (e.g. VNT SET, EGR SET, COMP COOLER SET, EGR COOLER SET, ETURBO SET, Fueling Rate, etc.) on each of two or more parameters (e.g. AFR, MAP, MAF, NOX, PM), and the multivariable controller may then control the actuators to produce a desired response in the two or more parameters.
- the model may, in some cases, model the effects of simultaneous changes in two or more actuators on each of one or more engine parameters, and the multivariable controller may control the actuators to produce a desired response in each of the one or more parameters.
- the variable “y(k)” contains the sensor measurements (for the turbocharger problem, these include but are not limited to MAP, MAF, MAT, turbospeed, NOx emissions, PM emissions, etc).
- t) denote the outputs of the system predicted at time “t+k” when the measurements “y(t)” are available. They are used in the model predictive controller to choose the sequence of inputs which yields the “best” (according to performance index J) predicted sequence of outputs.
- the variables “u(k)” are produced by optimizing J and, in some cases, are used for the actuator set points.
- these include, but are not limited to, the VNT SET, EGR SET, COMP COOLER SET, EGR COOLER SET, ETURBO, etc.
- the variable “x(k)” is a variable representing an internal state of the dynamical state space model of the system.
- t) indicates the predicted version of the state variable k discrete time steps into the future and is used in the model predictive controller to optimize the future values of the system.
- the variables y min and y max are constraints and indicate the minimum and maximum values that the system predicted measurements ⁇ (k) are permitted to attain. These often correspond to hard limits on the closed-loop behavior in the control system. For example, a hard limit may be placed on the PM emissions such that they are not permitted to exceed a certain number of grams per second at some given time. In some cases, only a minimum y min or maximum y max constraint is provided. For example, a maximum PM emission constraint may be provided, while a minimum PM emission constraint may be unnecessary or undesirable.
- the variables u min and u max are also constraints, and indicate the minimum and maximum values that the system actuators û(k) are permitted to attain, often corresponding to physical limitations on the actuators.
- the EGR valve may have a minimum of zero corresponding to a fully closed valve position and a maximum value of one corresponding to the fully open valve position.
- only a minimum u min or maximum u max constraint may be provided.
- some or all of the constraints (e.g. y min , y max , u min , u max ) may vary in time, depending on the current operating conditions.
- the state and actuator constraints may be provided to the air-side controller 80 of FIG. 2 via interface 78 , if desired.
- the constant matrices P, Q, R are often positive definite matrices used to set a penalty on the optimization of the respective variables. These are used in practice to “tune” the closed-loop response of the system.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view of an illustrative model predictive controller in accordance with the present invention.
- the MPC 80 includes a State Observer 82 and a MPC Controller 84 .
- the MPC Controller 84 provides a number of control outputs “u” to actuators or the like of the engine 20 .
- Illustrative control outputs include, for example, the VNT SET signal 42 , the EGR SET signal 60 , the COMP COOLER SET signal 65 , the EGR COOLER SET signal 69 , and the ETURBO SET signal 44 , all shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
- the MPC Controller 84 may include a memory for storing past values of the control outputs u(t), u(t ⁇ 1), u(t ⁇ 2), etc.

- Illustrative inputs “y” include, for example, the MAP sensor output 52 , the MAF sensor output 50 , a Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) signal 53 , the turbo speed signal 48 , the NOX sensor output 56 , and/or the PM sensor output 54 , shown and described above with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2 . It is contemplated that the inputs “y” may be interrogated constantly, intermittently, or periodically, or at any other time, as desired. Also, these input parameters are only illustrative, and it is contemplated that more or less input signals may be provided, depending on the application. In some cases, the State Observer 82 may receive present and/or past values for each of the number of inputs “y”, the number of control outputs “u”, and a number of internal state variables “x”, depending on the application.
- the State Observer 82 produces a current set of state variables “x”, which are then provided to the MPC Controller 84 .
- the MPC Controller 84 then calculates new control outputs “u”, which are presented to actuators or the like on the engine 20 .
- the control outputs “u” may be updated constantly, intermittently, or periodically, or at any other time, as desired.
- the engine 20 operates using the new control outputs “u”, and produces new inputs “y”.
- the MPC 80 is programmed using standard Quadratic Programming (QP) and/or Linear Programming (LP) techniques to predict values for the control outputs “u” so that the engine 20 produces inputs “y” that are at a desired target value, within a desired target range, and/or do not violate any predefined constraints.
- QP Quadratic Programming
- LP Linear Programming
- the MPC 80 may predict values for the control outputs VNT SET position 42 , EGR SET position 60 and/or the ETURBO SET signal 44 so that future values of the NOX 56 and/or PM emissions signals 54 are at or remain at a desired target value, within a desired target range, and/or do not violate current constraints.
- This prediction capability may be particularly useful since there is often a “turbo lag” (e.g.
- the constraints may change, and may depend on the current operating conditions.
- the MPC 80 may be implemented in the form of online optimization and/or by using equivalent lookup tables computed with a hybrid multi-parametric algorithm.
- Hybrid multi-parametric algorithms may allow constraints on emission parameters as well as multiple system operating modes to be encoded into a lookup table which can be implemented in an Engine Control Unit (ECU) of a vehicle.
- the emission constraints can be time-varying signals which enter the lookup table as additional parameters.
- Hybrid multi-parametric algorithm are further described by F. Borrelli in “Constrained Optimal Control of Linear and Hybrid Systems”, volume 290 of Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences, Springer, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the MPC 80 may include one or more Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control loops, one or more predictive constrained control loops—such as a Smith predictor control loop, one or more multi-parametric control loops, one or more multivariable control loops, one or more dynamic matrix control loops, one or more statistical processes control loop, a knowledge based expert system, a neural network, fuzzy logic or any other suitable control mechanism, as desired.

Abstract
Description
y(t)=B0*u(t)+B1*u(t−1)+ . . . +Bn*u(t−n)+A1*y(t−1)+ . . . +Am*y(t−m)
where B0 . . . Bn, and A1 . . . Am are constant matrices. In a dynamic model, y(t) which is the output at time t, is based on the current input u(t), one or more past inputs u(t−1), . . . , u(t−n), and also on one or more past outputs y(t−1) . . . y(t−m).
y(t)=B0u(t)
A static model as shown is a simple matrix multiplier. A static model typically has no “memory” of the inputs u(t−1), u(t−2) . . . or outputs y(t−1) . . . etc. As a result, a static model can be simpler, but may be less powerful in modeling some dynamic system parameters.
x(t+1)=Ax(t)+Bu(t)
y(t)=Cx(t)
The model predictive algorithm involves solving the problem:
u(k)=arg min{J}
Where the function J is given by,
Subject to Constraints
ymin≦ŷ(t+k|t)≦ymax
umin≦u(t+k)≦umax
x(t|t)=x(t)
{circumflex over (x)}(t+k+1|t)=A{circumflex over (x)}(t+k|t)+Bu(t+k)
ŷ(t+k|t)=C{circumflex over (x)}(t+k|t)
In some embodiments, this is transformed into a Quadratic Programming (QP) problem and solved with standard or customized tools.
