Indicated torque estimation and load torque observation algorithms are presented and appear to be a feasible alternative to the use of the engine torque maps in a modern torque-based engine management system. The proposed method, which uses a cylinder pressure sensor, has advantages of simplicity from the elimination of the requirement for a complex indicated torque model. Moreover, the proposed algorithms are accurate and robust to the variations in the environmental factors that affect the torque production procedure. The indicated torque is estimated from the peak pressure and its location, and the load torque is observed on the basis of the estimated indicated torque. The proposed torque estimation algorithms may provide new ideas for many application areas such as engine diagnostics, torque-based engine control, traction control via engine control, and vehicle dynamics control.
