This paper presents a neural model of a Diesel engine and its use for control. It describes the method used to design the neural model, from the physical equations that concern the engine. This model is then used in a specialized training scheme to control the engine. A trajectory tracking of the engine speed with and without pollution constraints is simulated.
Keywords: neural-network models, neural control, Diesel engines, automotive control, automotive emissions
