CDIO Project 2022

Machine Learning and Adaptive Regulation for Improved Servoperformance

This Project

Background

Brief introduction to our project

ICE

The majority of cars as of today are still running on a ICE which needs regulation of airflow. This is where the throttle is vital.

Code

To regulate the desired torque, a robust controller is needed.

Improved performance

A successful implementation gives better driveability and improves fuel consumption.

Core components during this project and results.

Throttle

A servo valve which regulates the inflow of air to the engine.

Raspberry-Pi

Pocket-sized computer vital for the communication between MATLAB and the throttle.

MATLAB & Simulink

The main program used for implementation of controller and comunication between the system and throttle.

About Us


The team that has carried out this project consist of 7 engineering studets at Linköping University, with a diverse background among us. The constantly changing demands from the outside world puts high demands on the automotive industry. To cope with these demands, the automotive industry needs to be adaptable in many ways. The constantly increasing requirements on emissions creates a demand for new solutions in the engine development.

Therefore, the scope of this project has been to improve the servoperformance of a throttle using adaptive regulation and machine learning.
