摘要:AbstractKnock phenomenon as a stochastic process requires feedback control for its relation to engine efficiency, noise and cylinder damage. In this paper, a knock probability estimation method using Bayes’ updating rule and beta distribution is proposed based on the independent and identically distributed (iid) characteristic analysis of the knock event sequence. A stochastic control algorithm using the estimation method and likelihood ratio test is also proposed. The proposed control algorithm is validated on a production spark ignition engine and shows the ability to maintain knock probability close to the target.
