Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Engineering Mechanics, Automatic Control and MatlabIntended learning outcomes
To understand automotive control systems used for vehicle propulsion, and have the basics for developing future vehicular systems. The student should after the course:
- have knowledge about the systems and components that are important for the propulsion of a road vehicle.
- have knowledge about the operating principles of engines and powertrains.
- be able to explain and analyze the limiting factors for engine performance and control performance.
- be able to describe and implement the most important control loops for air, fuel injection and ignition in todays engine control systems for both gasoline and diesel engines.
- be able to define and explain the emissions from combustion engines and the factors they depend upon.
- be able to design and build control oriented models for an engine and its components as well as a driveline and its components.
- have experience of planning, executing and evaluating engine laboratory experiments.
- have experience of evaluating and assessing model quality based on both system properties and measurement data.
- have experience of planning and synthesizing control algorithms for automotive engines and powertrains.
- be able to define and describe concepts and basic functionality in an engines diagnosis and supervision system.
Course content
- Introduction on engines and thermodynamics.
- Modeling of engines with a controls perspective.
- Engine control including air control, lambda control, ignition control, knock control and turbo control.
- Longitudial vehicle dynamics with air drag and rolling resistance.
- Driveline control including active damping and gear shift control.
- Diagnosis and supervision.
