Model Predictive Control of Automotive Powertrains with Backlash
نویسندگان
چکیده
In automotive powertrains, the existence of backlash causes driveability problems, which to some extent are remedied by the engine control system. The control problem has a constrained, minimum-time character, which motivates an investigation of the usability of model predictive control, MPC, in this application. Recent developments in MPC theory make an off-line calculation of the control law possible. This makes MPC more attractive for implementation in fast control loops such as the one under study here. The results indicate that MPC has a potential in this application. However, the off-line computation time is significant, and further robustness investigations are needed. Copyright c © 2005 IFAC

Control and Estimation of Automotive Powertrains with Backlash
In automotive powertrains, backlash causes problems with vehicle driveability, specifically at so called tip-in and tip-out maneuvers. These maneuvers may trigger phenomena known in the automotive industry as shunt and shuffle, which are partially caused by the backlash. These phenomena are considered difficult to cope with, and until recently, only relatively simple controllers have been used ...
متن کاملEstimation of Backlash with Application to Automotive Powertrains
In rotating systems, backlash imposes limitations on the quality of control. Automotive powertrains is an example where this is a well-known limitation. In order to increase the controller performance, knowledge of the backlash properties (size and current position) is needed. In this paper, nonlinear estimators for backlash size and position are described, both based on Kalman filtering theory...
