Abstract: An engine system includes an air handling control unit which controls a plurality of air handling actuators responsible for maintaining flow of air and exhaust gas within the engine system. The engine system has a plurality of sensors whose sensor signals at least partially define a current state of the engine system. The air handling control unit includes a controller which controls the air handling actuators of the engine system as well as a processing unit coupled to the sensors and the controller. The processing unit includes an agent which learns a policy function that is trained to process the current state, determines a control signal to send to the controller by using the policy function after receiving the current state as an input, and outputs the control signal to the controller. Then, the agent receives a next state and a reward value from the processing unit and updates the policy function using a policy evaluation algorithm and a policy improvement algorithm based on the received reward value. Subsequently, the controller controls the air handling actuators in response to receiving the control signal. In one aspect of the embodiment, the control signal is a command signal for the air handling actuators.

Abstract: An engine system includes an air handling and fuel system whose states are managed by a reference managing unit. The engine system has a plurality of sensors whose sensor signals at least partially define a current state of the engine system. The reference managing unit includes a controller which controls the air handling and fuel system of the engine system as well as a processing unit coupled to the sensors and the controller. The processing unit includes an agent which learns a policy function that is trained to process the current state, determines air handling references and fuel system references by using the policy function after receiving the current state as an input, and outputs the air handling references and fuel system references to the controller. Then, the agent receives a next state and a reward value from the processing unit and updates the policy function using a policy evaluation algorithm and a policy improvement algorithm based on the received reward value. Subsequently, the controller controls the air handling and fuel system of the engine in response to receiving the air handling references and the fuel system references.

Abstract: System, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for controlling one or more actuators of an air handling system of an internal combustion engine. The one or more actuators are controlled in response to one or more feedforward references that are adjusted by a reference governor that predicts one or more operating parameters and imposes constraints on the one or more feedforward references to reduce the potential for violating limits on the one or more operating parameters.
