Optimum Injection Timing Method


Using an optimization framework
Vary injection timing for every torque/speed combination (over 200 map points, ~100 executions per point) Computationally prohibitive

Future Directions
How realistic is the variable compression ratio engine for the driving cycles and vehicles we are considering? How can we better quantify the benefits of increased flexibility in transmission parameters? What are the effects of injection timing and variable valve timing on engine map characteristics? Is it better to cluster points around optimum power levels on an engine map or disregard that an engine can be described by a single map?
