Feedforward mapping for engine control

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/IECON.2016.7793288

Feedforward control is widely used in electronic control units of internal combustion engines besides feedback controls. However, almost all feedforward control values are used in table form, also called maps, having engine speed and engine torque in their axes. Table approach limits all inte ractions in two input dimensions. This paper focuses on application of Gaussian process modelling of errors of inverse parametric model of the valve position. Validation results based on real engine data are presented for steady and dynamic conditions.
