“…In some cases, these models can adapt to the engine changes along time, ensuring the same operation from the factory calibration until after several thousand hours of use [11]. This control strategy uses predictive mathematical models of the processes in order to estimate the future behaviour of the system for given control inputs, thus optimising the selection of the control signals [1,6,10,12,13,14,15,16]. In this scenario, in-cylinder pressure provides direct information on combustion development [6,17,18,19,20,21], as peak pressure, indicated mean effective pressure or heat release.…”
