Abstract: A control apparatus for an engine includes a control unit. The engine includes a sensor. The control unit determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in a calculation function of the control unit on the basis of a comparison result between the control required injection amount and the monitoring required injection amount. The control unit determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the calculation function of the control unit without using the comparison result when the comparison result is calculated during a predetermined period. The predetermined period is a period of a delay that occurs between updating of one of respective values of the control rotation speed and the monitoring rotation speed and updating of the other value due to a difference between the first timing and the second timing.

In this case, a first actuator provided on the downstream side in the intake passage is operated based on the requested torque.

Abstract: A vehicle integrated control device that can request torque having an appropriate magnitude and change speed to be given to an engine control unit from a drive system manager. A first maximum torque and a second maximum torque are presented to a drive system manager from an engine control unit. The drive system manager refers to the first maximum torque and the second maximum torque which are presented, and determines a request torque to be given to the engine control unit. The first maximum torque is a maximum torque that can be realized when only an operation amount of a throttle is actively changed without actively changing an operation amount of a wastegate valve. The second maximum torque is a maximum torque that can be realized when both the operation amount of the throttle and the operation amount of the wastegate valve are actively changed.

In more detail, driver required torque which is included in required torque is converted into an air quantity in accordance with a predetermined conversion rule, and the air quantity which is obtained by the conversion is determined by calculation as a reference target air quantity. The reference target air quantity is used as a target air quantity for throttle manipulation, and is also used as a target air quantity for actuator manipulation at a normal time.

Abstract: According to the present invention, torque controllability may be improved in a situation in which there is a gap between a required torque and a current torque based on a supercharge delay of a supercharger when calculation of a target throttle divergence using an air reverse model is applied to a supercharged internal combustion engine. Although the control unit of the present invention usually determines the required torque as a target torque, the control unit determines a value lower than the current torque when a reduction direction change occurs in the required torque while there is the gap between the required torque and the current torque. Desirably, the control unit determines a target torque reduction correspondingly to a decrease in the required torque, and determines a target torque reduction subtracted from the current torque as the target torque.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus that inhibits fuel efficiency from being aggravated as a result of ignition timing of the internal combustion engine being retarded. The vehicle control apparatus includes a drive system control unit and an engine control unit. The engine control unit adjusts an amount of intake air based on the demanded torque and adjusts ignition timing so as to compensate for any deviation between torque achievable through an adjustment of the amount of intake air and the demanded torque. The drive system control unit calculates desirable torque to be desirably output to the internal combustion engine for achieving a target operating state of the vehicle, and limits a change rate of the desirable torque by using a predetermined guard value determined from torque adjustment capacity of the internal combustion engine and outputs the desirable torque after the limiting as the demanded torque to the engine control unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control device for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine provided with a cylinder pressure sensor and aims to facilitate optimal control of a combustion state even in a situation where an operating condition is variable. A predetermined combustion-related parameter whose value is uniquely determined by behavior of a change in cylinder pressure relative to a crank angle is used as a control value. Ignition timing is calculated based on the control value in accordance with a calculation rule determined according to a current or target operating condition of the internal combustion engine. The control value resulting from calculation based on a target value of a predetermined physical quantity relating to torque of the internal combustion engine in accordance with a predetermined calculation rule is used as a base value and is corrected by feeding back an output value of the cylinder pressure sensor.
