Motivated by automotive emission legislations, a Virtual [Formula: see text] sensor is developed. This virtual sensor consists of a real-time, phenomenological model that computes engine-out [Formula: see text] by using the measured in-cylinder pressure signal from a single cylinder as its main input. The implementation is made on a Field Programmable Gate Array–Central Processing Unit architecture to ensure the [Formula: see text] computation is ready at the end of the combustion cycle. The Virtual [Formula: see text] sensor is tested and validated on an EURO-VI Heavy-Duty Diesel engine platform. The Virtual [Formula: see text] sensor is proven to meet the accuracy of a production [Formula: see text] sensor for steady-state conditions and has better frequency response compared to the production [Formula: see text] sensor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
