On-line possibilistic diagnosis based on expert knowledge for engine dyno test benches
Résumé
Car engine electronic control unit tuning is a tedious and difficult task. Engineers can no more check on-line the measurements validity: Control strategies are becoming more complex and measurements more numerous. A fault diagnosis approach relying on experts’ qualitative and uncertain knowledge has been developed to identify whenever a malfunction is present. The theoretical frame-work - based on possibility theory and on consistency and abductive indices - is first explained. The latest results are then presented. Finally, the whole incremental development process of the prototypes is described, explaining the most difficult points and how they were handled.
