Patent ID: 11280227

Abstract:
A method for adaptation of a detected camshaft position of a camshaft in an internal combustion engine with: Detection of an ACTUAL gas signal in a gas space that is associated with the camshaft and is associated with a detected camshaft position; Processing of the gas signal to produce an ACTUAL gas criterion; Modeling of multiple simulated gas criteria, each of which is associated with a target camshaft position; Determination of a simulated gas criterion with the least deviation from the ACTUAL gas criterion; Determination of an ACTUAL camshaft position that corresponds to the simulated gas criterion with the least deviation from the ACTUAL gas criterion; Determination of a camshaft position correction value from the difference between the ACTUAL camshaft position determined and the detected camshaft position; Determination of corrected camshaft positions by correcting the detected camshaft positions with the camshaft position correction value.
