Presented is a real-time steady state engine torque estimation algorithm executed in the spatial domain (crank angle domain) using speed wheel information. The torque estimation algorithm consists of a notch-filter and a steady state model which is identified using an orthogonal least squares estimation algorithm. The inputs to this model include the amplitude of the nth frequency component (n is the number of cylinders) of the crankshaft signature and average engine speed. Notch filters executed in the crank-angle domain are employed to extract the nth frequency component directly from the instantaneous engine speed signal. This approach is applied to a calibrated engine model for an in-line six cylinder diesel engine. A discussion of the results is also provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
