HORIZON BASED ENGINE CONTROL

Original (Chinese)

An engine for enabling a desired engine torque response of a vehicle includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and actuators. The ECU includes constraint modules and an engine torque control module, which includes an engine setpoint optimizer module, an engine setpoint control module, and actuation blocks. The constraint modules determine a horizon request for the engine. The engine torque control module receives the horizon request. The engine setpoint optimizer module receives the horizon request as an array of engine setpoint quantities (ESQ) and determines an array of Individual Engine Setpoints (IES) based on the array of ESQ. The engine setpoint control module determines actuator setpoints for the actuators to be set to based on the array of IES. The actuation blocks convert the actuator setpoints into voltage signals. The actuators facilitate a combustion reaction in the engine based on the voltage signals.
