POWERTRAIN SIMULATION: A TOOL FOR THE DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF ENGINE CONTROL STRATEGIES IN VEHICLES

A powertrain simulation model to translate the demands of a vehicle driving schedule into an engine RPM/torque versus time trajectory is developed. The formulation of a time density matrix in the speed/load plane of the engine allows a rational approach to the selection of dynamometer test points for emission control strategy development, fuel economy improvement and/or component development and evaluation. /GMRL/
