Efficient control of the electromechanical throttle body of internal c
ombustion engines allows one to properly regulate the additional air f
low provided to the engine in idle speed conditions. The behavior of t
he throttle is highly nonlinear, due to its mechanical characteristics
and to significant friction forces. The systematic design of the cont
rol strategy calls for the availability of a reliable model, and of a
related simulation tool. This paper presents the model and the simulat
ion environment developed for and currently used by Magneti Marelli in
order to characterize new throttle bodies, and to design the associat
ed control algorithms. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
