Method for controlling an internal combustion engine

摘要

A method for controlling an internal-combustion engine comprises steps of: determining a current value of a driving torque requested to the internal-combustion engine and a first time derivative of the current value of the driving torque; comparing the current value of the driving torque and first time derivative with first and second threshold values, respectively; determining a “sport driving” condition only if the current value of the driving torque is higher than the first threshold value and the first time derivative is higher than the second threshold value; and controlling the internal-combustion engine as a function of the “sport driving” condition.

1. A method for controlling an internal-combustion engine (1), the method comprising steps of:
determining, in a preliminary adjustment and set-up step, a number of threshold values (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6); recognizing a selection of a user to enable a “sport driving” condition that favors performance of the internal-combustion engine; determining, in operation, a value of driving torque (C) requested to the internal-combustion engine (1); determining a first time derivative (Ċ) of the value of the driving torque (C); comparing the value of the driving torque (C) with a first threshold value (S1) that is variable as a function of a series of parameters; comparing the first time derivative (Ċ) with a second threshold value (S2) that is variable as a function of a series of parameters; enabling the “sport driving” condition only if the value of the driving torque (C) is higher than the first threshold value (S1) and the first time derivative (Ċ) is higher than the second threshold value (S2); and controlling the internal-combustion engine (1) as a function of the “sport driving” condition.
