Abstract

To enhance the reliability of the electronic throttle and consequently the vehicles driven by the internal combustion engines, a fault tolerant control strategy is developed in this paper. The proposed method employs a full-order terminal sliding mode control in conjunction with an adaptive radial basis function network to estimate change rate of the fault. Fault tolerant control to abrupt and incipient changes in the throttle viscous friction torque coefficient and the throttle coulomb friction torque coefficient is achieved. Whilst the throttle position is driven to track the reference signal, the post-fault dynamics are guaranteed to converge to the equilibrium point in finite time, and the control is smooth without chattering. A nonlinear Simulink model of an electronic throttle is developed with real physical parameters and is used for evaluation of the developed method. A significant change of the throttle friction torque is simulated, and the fault tolerant control system keeps system stability and tracking the reference signal in the presence of the fault.
