This approach is based on using various systematic parameter variations intended to collect information about the process. These parameters are the injection timing (pre, main, post) and amounts, pressure of the guide performing fuel injection, mass air flow, intake manifold pressure and some common parameters that are used in engine speed experiment designs. After the necessary and sufficient amount of data is collected, engine models are developed to predict the reactions of the engine based on these test data. Subsequently, optimal values, where the model is defined and valid, are obtained by using certain optimization techniques. Reactions of the engine are shaped as desired by the help of the mathematical optimization tools. The basic objective here is to improve calibration at many stable state points and to determine the rapid transition conditions between these stable points. The engine calibration that is attained is then verified by the tests performed on the dynamometer.
