Abstract:
1. An internal combustion engine comprising: a control system comprising a processor for processing various data to develop data for control of various aspects of engine operation, including controlling a device that controls flow of a gaseous fluid into the engine; wherein a) the processor processes certain data according to a transient compensation strategy to develop a multiplier data value for transient compensation of a control data value for controlling the device by multiplying that control data value by that multiplier data value, b) the transient compensation strategy comprises a map containing data values for the multiplier, each of which is correlated with both a particular data value for engine speed within a particular range of data values for engine speed and a particular data value for accelerator pedal rate within a particular range of data values for accelerator pedal rate, and c) the processor selects one of the multiplier data values from the map on the basis of a data value for engine speed and of a data value for accelerator pedal rate and then multiplies the control data value for controlling the device by the one selected multiplier data value.
