Method for determining adapted measuring values and/or model parameters for controlling the air flow path of internal combustion engines

A method for determining at least one of adapted measured values and model parameters and controlling the air path of an internal combustion engine, the method comprising:

• operating the internal combustion engine;
• executing an algorithm to adapt at least one of at least two measured values and at least two measured model parameters simultaneously;
• wherein the algorithm defines a plurality of individual correction variables for the at least one of measured values and model parameters as a function of at least one total error variable which describes an inconsistency in the measured values and model parameters;
• and
• wherein executing the algorithm comprises:
• for each measured value or measured model parameter to be adapted, calculating a weighting value as a function of expected tolerances of the respective measured value or measured model parameter;
• determining values for the individual correction variables based at least on the calculated weighting values and the at least one total error variable;
• and
• applying said values of said individual correction variables to the at least one of measured values and model parameters that are to be adapted;
• and
• controlling the operation of the internal combustion engine based on the adapted at least one of measured values and model parameters.
