Abstract
The specification for the idle control problem for automotive engines is to maintain the crankshaft speed within a given range in the presence of load changes. A new cycle-detailed hybrid model of the engine that captures well the interactions between the discrete phenomena of torque generation and spark ignition, and the continuous evolution of the power-train and air dynamics, is proposed. The idle control problem is formalized as a safety specification problem on the hybrid system. The Tomlin-Lygeros-Sastry procedure [12] is applied to compute the maximal controlled invariant set that satisfies the safety specification.
