Oak Ridge researcher developing autonomous intelligent engines capable of real-time calibration based on driver behavior

Green Car Congress

Malikopoulos has run a number of simulation studies (using the enDYNA high fidelity simulation model) showing up to 10% fuel economy improvement using his proposed method compared to a standard baseline engine. They are operated with reference to engine operating points and the values of various engine controllable variables.
