Developed at the Institut für Automatisierungstechnik (IAT), the institute for automation technology in Darmstadt, the model-based measurement strategy is implemented on modular dSPACE hardware, which allows the engine’s actuators and sensors to be connected directly. Added to this system are MicroAutoBoxes connected to existing ECUs via XCP. With the increasing strictness of statutory emis- sion regulations, engine designers face the task of e
