Abstract :
The paper presents an integrated software-hardware solution to effectively model and simulate internal combustion engine control systems. The solution is based on RT-LABTM. The characteristics of the proposed modeling and simulation approach are the preservation of accuracy in the face of relatively large fixed simulation steps and the achievement of real-time and faster than real-time simulation execution. The results of numerical simulations, which show a relatively high accuracy and the gains in execution speeds obtained with various physical configurations, are also provided
