l probes in turbocharged diesel engines are usually located downstream of the turbine, exhibiting a good dynamic
response but a significant delay because of the exhaust line transport and the hardware itself. With the ...

No-x estimation in diesel engines is an up-to-date problem but still some issues need to be solved. Raw sensor signals are not fast enough for real-time use while control-oriented models suffer from drift and aging. A ...
It has lately been demonstrated that the resonance of the in-cylinder pressure may be
used for inferring the trapped mass in an internal combustion engine. The resonance
frequency changes over time as the expansion stroke ...
[EN] Knock control represents one of the most critical aspects to reach optimal thermal efficiency in spark ignition engines, and its research is crucially important because it determines thermal efficiency, engine durability, ...
Look-up tables are commonly used in the automotive field for handling operating point variations. However, constant maps cannot cope with systems variations and ageing. Methods, such as Kalman filter or Extended Kalman ...
[EN] In this paper, the knock phenomenon is studied and characterized in the time-frequency domain. From the analysis results, a new knock event definition is proposed, which compares the excitation of the cylinder resonance ...

[EN] Boosting technologies have been key enablers for automotive engines development through downsizing and
downspeeding. In this situation, numerous multistage boosting systems have appeared in the last decade. The ...
There are many approaches addressing the problem of optimal energy management in hybrid electric vehicles; however, most of them optimise the control strategy for particular driving cycles. This paper takes into account ...
This paper presents a model-based approach for continuously adapting an engine calibration to the traffic and changing pollutant emission limits. The proposed strategy does not need additional experimental tests beyond ...
[EN] In-cylinder pressure analysis is a key tool for engine research and diagnosis and it has been object of study from the beginning of the internal combustion engines. One of its most useful application is combustion ...
[EN] This paper analyses the in-cylinder pressure oscillations in internal combustion engines, which are initiated by combustion and resonate during the expansion stroke. A specific mathematical tool, which takes into ...
[EN] Current diesel engine regulations include on-board diagnostic requirements so that after-treatment systems need on-board methods to detect their aging state through the available measurements. In a state-of-the-art ...
An on-engine method for dynamic characterisation of automotive NOx concentration sensors is presented. Steps in start of injection on a diesel engine are employed to achieve step-like NOx concentration variations on exhaust ...
