Embodiment Construction

[0119] The engine control module (ECM) controls the torque output of the engine. More specifically, the ECM controls the actuators of the engine to generate a requested amount of torque based on the target values, respectively. For example, the ECM controls intake and exhaust camshaft phasing based on target intake and exhaust phaser angles, throttle control based on target throttle opening, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR ) valve, and control the wastegate of the turbocharger based on the target wastegate duty cycle.

[0120] The ECM can individually determine the target value using multiple single-input single-output (SISO) controllers, such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. However, when using multiple SISO controllers, target values ​​can be set to maintain system stability at the expense of possible fuel consumption reduction. Additionally, the calibration and design of individual SISO controllers can be costly and time consuming.

[0121] The ECM o...

Abstract

A tangible computer readable medium of a vehicle includes object code referencing a plurality of variables, the object code for: identifying sets of possible target values based on air and exhaust setpoints for an engine; generating predicted parameters based on a model of the engine and the sets of possible target values, respectively; selecting one of the sets of possible target values based on the predicted parameters; setting target values based on the selected one of the sets of possible target values, respectively; and controlling opening of a throttle valve based on a first one of the target values. The tangible computer readable medium also includes calibration data stored separately and that includes predetermined values for the variables referenced in the object code, respectively. At least one processor executes the object code using the predetermined values to perform the identifying, the generating, the selecting, the setting, and the controlling.
