The requirements for gasoline engines are optimising the airpath but future legislation suggests not only a finely controlled airpath but also some level of electrification. Fundamentals of controls modelling are revisited and advancements are highlighted. In particular, a modern GTDI airpath is presented based on basic building blocks (volumes, turbocharger, throttle, valves and variable cam timing or VCT) with an example of a system interaction, based on boost pressure and lambda control. Further, an advanced airpath could be considered with applications to downsizing and fuel economy. A further electrification step is reviewed which involves interactions with the airpath and requires a robust energy management strategy. Examples are taken of energy recovery and e-machine placement. Control-oriented models of gasoline engines are reviewed, and challenging control problems for conventional engines and hybrid vehicle powertrains are discussed, in particular relating to consideration of the complex interactions. A systems approach is needed to understand the attribute trade-off, with fuel consumption, emissions, as well as energy storage on a particular drive cycle. This necessitates an optimisation methodology and appropriate problem formulation of objective, states and constraints. A discussion of optimisation techniques is considered. Finally, a comprehensive list of references is provided.
