<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method of optimizing an exhaust gas value of an internal combustion engine. <P>SOLUTION: The internal combustion engine (1) includes an NOx occlusion catalyst (11) arranged in an exhaust system (10), and an NOx sensor (14) located behind the NOx occlusion catalyst. In the method of optimizing the exhaust gas value of the internal combustion engine in which an NOx sensor signal (30) indicating an NOx separation process (33) and an NH<SB>3</SB>emission process (34) is evaluated in an engine control means (20) to detect the termination of reproduction, the point of time (te) associated with at least one shape characteristic of the diagram of the NOx separation process (33) is used in order to detect the termination of reproduction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
