The primary cause of air pollution by vehicles is imperfect combustion of fuel. One of the most usual causes of this imperfect combustion is the misfire in IC(Intenal Combustion) engine. Recently it is obligated for an ECU to monitor the emission level and warn the driver in case of exceeding specified emission standards. Therefore, in order to comply with this OBD-II regulations, car makers are investing a considerable amount into technology which would enable the detection of misfire and the particular cylinder in which misfire is taking place. So far, it has been able to detect misfire using engine speed, which can be obtained crank angle. However, such a method posed a problem in analyzing at high speed and in recognizing the misfire from the load impact at bumpy road. In this paper, misfire detection is made possible by simple arithmetic using WDFT, especially at high engine speed. In addition, the moving window method of a Walsh function is applied to determine the cylinders under misfire in case of multiple misfires. An actual experiment was conducted to prove that WDFT is applicable to effective in computation speed and to same result in misfire detection and cylinder determination at idle, part load and bumpy road conditions.

자동차 배기가스의 증가요인인 실화발생을 감지하고 실화가 발생하는 기통까지 판별하기 위하여 종래에는 크랭크각속도를 측정하는 방법을 이용하였으나 이 방법은 고속의 회전시 감지가 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문은 이산 월쉬-푸리에(Walsh Discrete Fourier Transform; WDFT)를 이용하여 고속의 엔진회전수에서도 실화발생여부를 판단 가능하게 하였고, 월쉬함수의 Moving window방식을 이용하여 다기통 실화발생에 대한 기통판별까지 가능하게 하였다. 이상의 내용을 시스템으로 구현하여 무부하 Idle상태와 운전상태(Drive)에서 시험한 결과도 실화발생여부를 감지하는데 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
