Context and Objectives

 

Scope

In the global quest to move toward cleaner, more fuel-efficient and safer vehicles, control systems play a fundamental role. As a matter of fact, most novel technologies in the field of internal combustion engines, transmissions or alternative propulsion systems could not achieve their full potential without the help of automatic control. In turn, control design and validation definitely need solid support from physical modeling and simulation in order to be effective.

Bearing in mind this strong interplay, this three-day workshop will explore new trends in engine and powertrain control, simulation and modeling. The aim is to bring researchers and practitioners from the worlds of industry and academia together, to present and discuss the latest academic research developments relating to these topics, as well as industrial experience in deploying “real-world” applications.

 

Topics

Meeting topics for 2012 will include:

  • System modeling and simulation frameworks for engine and powertrain control design, validation and calibration
  • Model-based control, estimation and diagnostics for the new generations of: CI and SI engines (unconventional combustion modes, high downsizing, turbocharging and supercharging, variable valve technologies) and their exhaust gas after-treatment systems
  • Modeling, optimization and control for hybrid and electrified vehicles and their components: renewable energy storage systems, electric motors, power electronics, transmissions
  • HEV-related vehicle dynamics control
  • Thermal management for next generation vehicles
  • Applications of information and communication technologies to conventional and advanced vehicle powertrains for supervision, energy management, diagnostics (telematic services,  remote sensing, smart grids)
