Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application of control system technology to the design of electronic closed loop controls for the automobile. A number of basic theoretical concepts which are pertinent to automotive problems are discussed; these include open and closed loop control, step response, time delay, and the proportional-integral controller. These concepts are illustrated by an analysis of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio control problem.
