System and method for predicting parameters associated with airflow through an engine
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an engine air sensor that measures an engine air parameter at a first rate, wherein the engine air parameter includes at least one of a mass flow rate of air flowing into an intake manifold of an engine, a pressure within the intake manifold, and a mass of air within a cylinder of the engine;
an engine air prediction module that predicts an actual value of the engine air parameter at a second rate that is greater than the first rate; and
an engine actuator module that controls an actuator of the engine based on at least one of the measured engine air parameter and the predicted engine air parameter.

Abstract
A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes an engine air sensor, an engine air prediction module, and an engine actuator module. The engine air sensor measures an engine air parameter at a first rate. The engine air parameter includes at least one of a mass flow rate of air flowing into an intake manifold of an engine, a pressure within the intake manifold, and a mass of air within a cylinder of the engine. The engine air prediction module predicts the engine air parameter at a second rate that is greater than the first rate. The engine actuator module controls an actuator of the engine based on at least one of the measured engine air parameter and the predicted engine air parameter.
