Recursive Engine In-Cylinder Pressure Reconstruction Using Sensor-Fused Engine Speed.

The engine in-cylinder pressure is a very important parameter for the optimization of internal combustion engines. This paper proposes an alternative recursive Kalman filter-based engine cylinder pressure reconstruction approach using sensor-fused engine speed. In the proposed approach, the fused engine speed is first obtained using the centralized sensor fusion technique, which synthesizes the information from the engine vibration sensor and engine flywheel angular speed sensor.
