PREDIMOTTitle of the Sub-Project: Predictive Control of Combustion Engines - PREDIMOT Description: New emission limits still force the automotive industry to improve combustion engines. This can be done by changes in the hardware (construction, catalysts, filters…) or by modifications in the software, especially the control strategy for injection and airpath. Commercial engine control units are still developed in a very heuristic way for the airpath and reach a huge and fault-prone complexity. To overcome those problems, modern control strategies like predictive control depict a promising alternative but needs experts on engine, control and software design. The aim of the PREDIMOT project is to develop basic methods and to test the possibility of using these optimisation approaches for engine control. Two important problems will be tackled: the control of variable-valve-timing and exhaust-gas-recirculation on a direct injection spark ignition engine (Milan) and of turbocharged diesel engine with exhaust-gas-recirculation (Linz). To solve these problems, the PREDIMOT partners will proceed along the following steps: (a) development of the necessary models (b) for Linz: preparation of the required hardware and software for real time testing (c) adaptation of algorithms to the time and complexity specifications of engines (d) testing (e) evaluation, in particular in view of a possible industrial benefit and (f) dissemination. Regarding the overall REGINS goals, PREDIMOT enables a know-how transfer of complementary know-how for automotive applications. This network of expertise increases competitive capacity of the involved regions and is expected to provide ignition points for further projects. Four meetings/workshops and several short visits between the groups are planned, where experts of different engineer disciplines will exchange theoretical knowledge (universities) and experimental knowledge (industrial partners). Three of the four meetings will be organised together with supporting companies which will give advice on the specific steps and provide the problem definition with data. By this cooperation the academic know-how will be developed in accordance to industrial needs so that a later transfer to industry in the framework of further cooperation should be easily possible.
