Abstract
As the volume of car traffic is increasing so quickly it becomes more vital to reduce the energy consumption of road vehicles. One way of doing this is to develop the control systems that regulate the fuel injection and the time of ignition. Correct control of the ignition angle has a significant influence on the motors driveability. The process of working with an adaptive regulator (extremum controllers) for the control of the spark ignition angle in order to indicate to the maximum level of efficiency in the motor is described. Various designs were developed and tested by means of computerized simulation. The first part was based on the assumption that the indicated level of efficiency can be measured, and here it was possible to achieve perfect control of the spark ignition angle. Furthermore, a regulator was developed which controlled the spark ignition angle on the basis of measurements of the number of revolutions. Here the control was excellent, but not quite perfect.
