Throttle Valve Control of Automotive Engine based on Boundary Model

Abstract The purpose of this research is to control the automotive engine inside the boundary between the admissible operation domain and the violated admissible operation domain. “Model Following Control” to follow the driver’s requirement and “Near Boundary Control” along the boundary are realized by optimization control by a quadratic programming problem in which “Control Lyapunov Function” and “Control Barrier Function” are combined. The operation of the proposed control method was confirmed on a numerical simulation. As a result of the simulation, the proposed method was confirmed to control the automotive engine within the admissible operation domain.
