Robust and Intelligent Control of Electronic Throttle Systems in Modern Intelligent Vehicles

Automotive electronic throttle (ET) systems are essential components in modern intelligent vehicles, directly influencing engine performance, fuel efficiency, drivability, and emission control. However, the presence of nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, friction effects, and external disturbances makes high-performance throttle control a challenging problem. This talk presents advanced control approaches for automotive ET systems, including dynamic modelling, robust control, and intelligent control methodologies. Various practical implementation issues and experimental validations are discussed to demonstrate improved tracking accuracy, robustness, and real-time performance for modern vehicle applications.
