Many vehicle systems simulations utilize engine maps constructed from steady-state dynamometer measurements to estimate exhaust temperature and emissions as functions of engine speed and load. Unfortunately, steady-state engine behaviour is often significantly different from actual behaviour under transient driving conditions. This is particularly true for vehicles that undergo repeated engine shutdown and restart (e.g. electric hybrids). The authors propose a methodology for estimating transient engine exhaust properties and fuel economy based on corrections to steady-state maps. The suggested methodology has been implemented in the Powertrain Systems Analysis Toolkit (PSAT) and this implementation is used to demonstrate good agreement with experimental measurements for both a light-duty diesel and a flex-fuel gasoline/ethanol engine. Specific procedures are also recommended for setting key parameters required by the proposed methodology and possible directions for further improvements are suggested.
