Development and validation of an MVEM from an SI-engine based WCCM

Mean Value Engine Models (MVEM) model the averaged dynamics of an automobile engine and have been used for the purpose of automotive control and fault diagnosis. Within-Cycle, Crank-Angle based Models (WCCM) are complex models that model the instantaneous dynamics of engine states and replace a real engine for simulation purposes. A WCCM was constructed on the simulation platform AMESim™. An MVEM was derived from this simulation data. The motivation for this work was to use this model in an MVEM based Fault Diagnoser.
