Fuel injection control using a neural network

An engine control module, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• configure, based on a set of parameters, a neural network to provide a target fuel output for a fuel injector of an engine;
• determine respective values of the set of parameters of the engine while the engine is under operation,
• wherein the set of parameters include:
• a desired fuel output,
• an instantaneous engine speed associated with the engine,
• a pressure at a start of fuel injection of the fuel injector, and
• timing associated with the fuel injection of the fuel injector;
• process, using the neural network, the respective values to determine the target fuel output for the fuel injector;
• and
• cause the fuel injector to inject fuel according to the determined target fuel output.

A system comprising:

• an engine;
• a fuel injector to inject fuel into one or more cylinders of the engine;
• and
• an engine control module configured to, while the engine is under operation:
• determine respective values of a set of parameters of the engine;
• process, using a neural network, the respective values to determine a target fuel output of the fuel injector,
• wherein the neural network is configured to determine the target fuel output based on the set of parameters being an input layer of the neural network, and
• wherein the set of parameters include one or more of:
• an instantaneous engine speed associated with the engine, or
• a pressure at a start of a fuel injection of the fuel injector;
• determine, based on an output of the neural network, the target fuel output;
• and
• provide the determined target fuel output to the fuel injector to permit the fuel injector to inject fuel according to the target fuel output.
