Adaptive-smith predictor for controlling an automotive electronic throttle over network
The paper presents a control strategy for an automotive electronic throttle,
a device used to regulate the power produced by spark-ignition engines. Controlling
the electronic throttle body is a difficult task because the throttle accounts strong
nonlinearities. The difficulty increases when the control works through communication
networks subject to random delay. In this paper, we revisit the Smith-predictor
control, and show how to adapt it for controlling the electronic throttle body over a
delay-driven network. Experiments were carried out in a laboratory, and the corresponding
data indicate the benefits of our approach for applications.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
