Abstract: A torque requesting module generates a first torque request for a spark ignition engine based on driver input. A torque conversion module converts the first torque request into a second torque request. A model predictive control (MPC) module determines a set of target values based on the second torque request, a model of the engine, and a matrix having dimensions of (m+n) by (m+n). n is an integer greater than zero that is equal to a number of lower boundary constraints used in the determination of the set of target values. m is an integer greater than zero that is equal to a number of constraints used in the determination of the set of target values other than the lower boundary constraints. An actuator module controls opening of an engine actuator based on a first one of the target values.

Abstract: A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a model predictive control (MPC) module and an actuator module. The MPC module generates predicted parameters based on a model of a subsystem and a set of possible target values. The MPC module generates a cost for the set of possible target values based on the predicted parameters and at least one of weighting values and references values. The MPC module adjusts the at least one of the weighting values and the reference values based on a desired rate of change in an operating condition of the subsystem. The MPC module selects the set of possible target values from multiple sets of possible target values based on the cost. The actuator module adjusts an actuator of the subsystem based on at least one of the target values.

A torque conversion module converts the first torque request into a second torque request. A setpoint module generates setpoints for the spark ignition engine based on the second torque request. A model predictive control (MPC) module: identifies sets of possible target values based on the setpoints; generates predicted parameters based on a model of the spark ignition engine and the sets of possible target values, respectively; selects one of the sets of possible target values based on the predicted parameters; and sets target values based on the possible target values of the selected one of the sets.

Abstract: A system includes a residual per cylinder calculation module that calculates an amount of residual (i.e., trapped exhaust gas) within an engine cylinder. A temperature calculation module calculates a temperature within the engine cylinder based on the amount of residual. A first air per cylinder (APC) calculation module calculates total charge content within the engine cylinder based on the temperature and calculates a first amount of air trapped within the engine cylinder based on the total charge content and the amount of residual. A residual mass fraction (RMF) calculation module calculates an RMF of the exhaust gas based on the amount of trapped exhaust gas at EVC and the total charge content. A second APC calculation module determines a backflow of the charged content into the engine cylinder and calculates a second amount of air trapped within the engine cylinder based on the backflow and the first amount of air.

Abstract: A model predictive control (MPC) module performs multiple iterations to determine a current set of target values for an engine based on a torque request, a model of the engine, a tableau matrix, and a basic solution matrix. Each of the iterations includes: determining whether the basic solution matrix is not in standard form; when the basic solution matrix is not in standard form, identifying a first column of the tableau matrix based on a first entry position of the primal variable of the non-basic pair; when the basic solution matrix is in standard form and one or more primal variables of the basic solution matrix are negative, identifying the first column of the tableau matrix based on a second entry position of a dual variable of the basic pair; and selectively updating the basic solution matrix based on the first column of the tableau matrix.

Abstract: A method of commanding a synchronous gear shift begins by receiving a request to shift from a third gear to a first gear, and skipping a second gear having a gear ratio between the gear ratio of the first gear and the gear ratio of the third gear. Subsequently the method includes: reducing a torque command to a predetermined value; opening a clutch disposed on the input shaft of the transmission to decouple the transmission from the engine; transitioning the engine from a torque-control mode into a speed-control mode; commanding the engine to rotate at a speed dictated by the motion of the vehicle and the gear ratio of the first gear; closing the clutch to couple the transmission and the engine; and transitioning the engine back into the torque-control mode.
