Design and Evaluation of a Throttle Controller for Common Rail Diesel Engines

Abstract

Currently, engine remapping is widely utilized to enhance the performance of diesel and petrol engines. Given that a substantial amount of data must be collected during the optimization process, a data acquisition system is necessary to organize and retrieve data automatically. This research focuses on the design, development, and testing of a data acquisition system for controlling and measuring the throttle pedal in diesel vehicles equipped with a common rail system. The system is designed to manage the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and monitor vehicle operational parameters in real-time. The proposed device employs Arduino as the primary hardware, with TechStream software for vehicle data acquisition, and a web-based application developed using the Python programming language, and displays data in real-time in the form of graphs and tables. From the test results, it can be concluded that the developed acquisition system produces precise and sensitive throttle position settings. Its operation is also straightforward, safe, and requires a relatively short amount of time.
