Information about the program

Keynote lectures


A set of keynote lectures will illustrate the central themes pf the Workshop:

 - Model structure and performance of predictive control in automative applications, L. Del Re, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria

 - Look-ahead vehicle control, Lars Nielsen, Linköping University, Sweden

 - Real-time in-cycle engine simulation, Andy Noble, Ricardo Consulting Engineers, UK

 - Dynamic simulation strategies for PCCI combustion control design, Norbert Peters, Aachen University, Germany

 - Control of urea SCR systems for diesel applications, Michiel van Nieuwstaadt, Ford Motor Company, USA



45 minutes allotted for keynote speakers, including 5 minutes discussion.



Regular session

More than thirty papers will be presented in the following sessions:

 - Applications of optimal and predictive control
 - Engine air path
 - Engine calibration, actuators and sensors
 - Engine emissions and after-treatment
 - Engine fuel path and combustion
 - Hybrid vehicles, electric components and energy management

25 minutes allotted for oral presentation, including 5 minutes discussion.

The throttle control benchmark session

This session will illustrate the results obtained by the participants in a benchmark to evaluate throttle control systems, designed and calibrated following different approaches, in frameworks of increasing complexity.

A Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) demonstration, which includes a real throttle, will present real-time control results interactively.

The control design approaches followed by participants in the benchmark will be illustrated by a set of posters displayed aroud the HiL demonstration.
