This paper describes new communication methods for transmitting torque commands between the vehicle controller that determines the amount of power generation in a range-extended electric vehicle and the engine controller that performs it. Generally, vehicles use CAN communication, but in this case, the hardware and software of the existing engine controller must be modified. For this reason, it is not easy to apply CAN communication to small and medium sized automotive reorganize companies. Therefore, this research presents a pin-pin communication method for applying the existing mass produced engine controller to range-extended electric vehicles. The pin-pin communication method converts the driver's demand torque control map inside an mass produced engine controller into a virtual accelerator opening position according to the target speed and target torque of the engine, and converts this to a voltage signal for the existing mass produced engine controller to recognize it. The virtual accelerator opening positions are mounted in the form of a control map in the vehicle controller through the reverse conversion process in an offline environment and are determined by the engine generating power requirements and engine optimal operating point algorithm. These algorithms and signal conversion circuits for engine torque transmission have been mounted on the vehicle controller to conduct the virtual accelerator opening position conversion process according to the engine target torque and to establish the virtual accelerator voltage signal using the signal converter.

A nonlinear engine torque and speed control algorithm using throttle angle control is developed with an engine load torque estimation algorithm. Three 3-dimensional nonlinear engine maps as a part of the nonlinear control algorithm are obtained from steady state engine dynamometer tests. An electric throttle actuator is developed using a stepper motor and a 8 bit micro-processor. The speed control and external load estimation algorithm are tested via engine speed control experiments, and show performance good enough for using various engine torque and speed control applications.

One dimensional simulation model of an EFI small engine has been developed based on the commercial small engine. Newly developed simulation model has been evaluated comparing with the experimental results to check the validity. Simulation result shows very good agreement having margin of error of 3 percentage compared with experimental torque and power values. Also, to improve the small engine performance, the influence of the intake valve timing and duration on the engine performance has been analyzed using the simulation model.

A study on the vehicle stability is discussed. In the field of the studies the electronic control systems help overcoming the limit of improvement in vehicle performance with the methods above. Driving stability is mainly incorporated with the later motion of a vehicle generated by the driver's steering input. Recently VDC system has been studieed in order to improve the active stability. This VDC system uses the active braking force. This paper propose the ATC that uses driving force. This paper compared VDC with ATC through an experiment.

The purpose of engine control TCS is to regulate engine torque to keep driven wheel slip in a desired range. In this paper, engine control TCS using sliding mode control law based on engine model and estimated load torque is proposed. This system includes a two-level controller. Slip controller calculates desired wheel torque, and engine torque controller determines throttle angle for engine torque corresponding to desired wheel torque. Another issue is to measure load torque for model based controller design. Luenberger observer with state variables of load torque and engine speed solves this problem as estimating load torque. The performance of controller and observer is certificated by simulation using 8-degree vehicle model, Pacejka tire model, and 2-state engine model. The simulation results in various maneuvers during slippery and split road conditions showed that acceleration performance and ability of the vehicle with TCS is improved. Also, the load torque observer could estimate real load torque very well, so its performance was proved.

In this study, we propose a new method for estimating the IMEP using difference pressure, which is the pressure difference between the cylinder pressure and the motoring pressure. The estimated IMEP, denoted as $IMEP_{diff}$, optimizes the theoretical IMEP calculation range based on the fact that the difference pressure exists between the start and the end of combustion. $IMEP_{diff}$ is verified to have a high linear correlation with IMEP with $R^2$ of 0.9955. The proposed method can estimate the IMEP with 21% of the cylinder pressure data and 31% of the calculation effort compared to the theoretical IMEP calculation method, and therefore, it has great potential for real-time implementations. The estimation and control performance of $IMEP_{diff}$ is validated by engine experiments, and by controlling $IMEP_{diff}$, the torque variation between the cylinders was reduced.
