摘要:
A system and method for monitoring engine operating data include monitoring various engine operating parameters and periodically storing engine data when corresponding criteria are met. In one embodiment, engine operating parameters may include engine speed, powertrain demand, or a fluid temperature, for example. Engine operating data such as oil pressure, turbo boost pressure, battery voltage, fuel economy, oil temperature, coolant temperature, maximum RPM, maximum vehicle speed, and throttle position sensor voltage, for example may be stored for trending and analysis. In addition, engine components may be monitored to determine service or replacement.

A method for comprehensive integrated control of an internal combustion engine, such as a compression-ignition engine or a natural gas spark-ignition engine, utilizes an electronic control module which includes an idle shutdown feature to limit the amount of time the engine is allowed to idle when the vehicle is stationary and the ambient air temperature is between calibratable limits. The system and method permit extended idle periods when the ambient air temperature is below a lower limit or above an upper limit to allow operation of the vehicle heating or cooling system, respectively. A selectable operator override permits engine idling for a calibratable period of time when requested by the operator, such as by momentarily depressing the accelerator pedal. The present invention also includes a system and method for estimating the ambient air temperature based on various other standard engine information, such as engine speed, cooling fan operation, engine oil temperature, and manifold air temperature or air inlet temperature. Ambient air temperature estimation is utilized when a direct sensor is not installed, not configured, or an error is detected. Furthermore, the present invention includes improved cooling fan control to anticipate temperature increases due to operation of a transmission retarder, and imposing a minimum torque requirement for cooling fan operation resulting from high coolant temperature.

An engine with transport delay represented by a delay period is controlled with a controller in the feed-forward path and a compensator in a negative inner feedback loop around the controller. The controller generates a control signal so as to control the engine as if the engine was without the delay. A compensation signal is generated as the sum of the control signal only over the delay period. The control signal is based on an error signal generated as the difference between a desired input and the sum of a controlled engine output and the compensation signal.

A method for comprehensive integrated control of a compression-ignition internal combustion engine having integral fuel pump-injectors utilizing an electronic control unit is disclosed. The control strategy integrates various functions of engine control including fuel delivery, cooling fan control, engine speed governing and overspeed protection, engine braking, torque control, and vehicle speed diagnostics and control. Cooling fan control is integrated with vehicle speed diagnostics and control as well as fuel delivery to provide an integrated cruise control function which incorporates engine braking. The method also includes improved control over the various engine speed governors while improving idle quality by balancing the power delivered by each of the engine cylinders when at idle. The integrated torque control employs functions to reduce NOx emissions and noise utilizing adaptive fuel delivery timing and a split injection strategy.

An efficiency gauge may be used for controlling an automotive vehicle. At least one vehicle parameter is sampled during vehicle operation and at least one measure of driving efficiency is determined from the sampled vehicle parameters. Efficiency measurement may include determining an estimate of kinetic energy lost. One such estimate is the sampled braking velocity cost found based on the difference of the squares of the last two vehicle velocities if the vehicle has decelerated and braking has occurred.
