Apply Sliding Mode Theory to Solve Control Problems Interest in SMC has grown rapidly
since the first edition of this book was published. This second edition includes new results …

The emission control problem for an automotive direct injected compression ignition (diesel)
engine equipped with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a variable geometry …

This brief addresses the model-based control of the air path of diesel engines in terms of an
optimal control problem with input constraints which can be solved using model predictive …

In this article model-based controller design techniques are investigated for the transient
operation of a common-rail diesel engine in order to optimize driveability and to reduce soot …

This paper presents the design and application of a robust, gain scheduled controller based
on a third-order linear parameter-varying (LPV) model of the airpath of the turbocharged …

This paper addresses the modeling and control of the air path system of diesel engines. The
underlying issues are critical for the control of the transient exhaust gas fraction pumped into …

Control of turbocharged diesel engines is a challenging task due to system nonlinearities
and constraints on the inputs and process variables. In this paper nonlinear model predictive …

Accurate air-to-fuel ratio and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate control are important for
emission reduction in turbocharged diesel engines. In the paper, assuming that the diesel …

In this paper, explicit model predictive control (MPC) of a two-stage turbocharged diesel
engine is presented. MPC provides superior performance over conventional map-based PID …

In this paper the problem of automating the gearshift process of a manual transmission
without synchronizers is investigated. The application is very interesting from an integrated …
