An exhaust gas recirculation method and apparatus adapted for use on an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes an engine operational model, with the engine operational model capable of outputting at least one engine operational characteristic, a feedback controller portion, the feedback controller portion receiving an emissions level feedback and generating a feedback control signal based on a difference between a predetermined EGR level and the emissions level feedback, a feedforward controller portion receiving a plurality of engine sensor inputs and using the plurality of engine sensor inputs in conjunction with the engine operational model to generate a feedforward control signal, the feedforward control signal capable of changing an EGR exhaust gas flow before the plurality of engine sensor inputs show a deviation from a predetermined emissions level, and a controller receiving the feedback control signal, the feedforward control signal, and accessing the engine operational model, the controller regulating an EGR exhaust gas flow in response to the feedback control signal, the feedforward control signal, and the engine operational model. |
