Automated Tool for Calibration Features Checking Engine Platform

Abstract

Fuel economy and government emissions regulations and other compulsory features like ABS and Cruise Control are important for automotive engine manufacturers. New engine sensors and actuators are introduced to meet these requirements, which increases engine complexity and cost. Calibration is the process of achieving optimal settings by evaluating the behavior of an engine. This multistep process involves designing tests, collecting data, analyzing the data and calibrating lookup tables to model the engine. This process helps to identify the optimal balance of engine performance, emissions, and fuel economy. There are number of calibration parameters which control the engine performance and behavior of its accessories. These parameters needs to be calibrated and adjusted to arrive at an engine settings which are optimized for performance, fuel economy, emissions and cost. In this project, we have developed an automated tool which helps in this calibration tuning process to reduce time and efforts. In this project, the calibration process is to be automated.
