DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR ESTIMATING INTAKE AIR AMOUNT

摘要

A device, a method, and a program for estimating an intake air amount. The device for estimating the intake air amount used for providing the intake air amount of an internal combustion engine having a variable valve mechanism comprises a reference value acquisition means for providing an intake air amount reference value from a specified map based on the rotational speed, valve lift, and valve phase angle of the internal combustion engine, a measurement value acquisition means for providing a measurement value according to the output of an air flow meter installed in the intake pipe of the internal combustion engine, a calculation means for providing a correction factor to minimize a deviation between a value obtained by multiplying the intake air amount reference value by the correction factor and the measurement value, and an estimated value calculation means for calculating an estimated intake air amount value by multiplying the provided correction factor by the intake air amount reference value.
