Shared engine model for automotive engine calibration platform development in JCUG

JCUG (Japan Calibration User Group) was established to initiate the development of the efficient engine calibration environment in April 2009. Engine calibration means the final coordination mainly by adjusting and properly determining parameters of engine control. Due to the strong demands from CO₂ reduction, environment protection and vehicle safety, the number of the control parameters has been rapidly increasing. Thus, the automotive industry needs the innovation of their calibration process ranging over test facilities, measurement devices, data acquisition systems, engineering software tools and the tool chain. JCUG provides their engine model to collaborators to make the communication among relevant researchers and engineers efficient.
