Summary:

In this paper a distributed system for engine management is presented. The system is in use on the 2006 and 2005 Formula SAE cars from Luleå University of Technology.The purpose of building such a system from scratch is to have a comprehensive, predictable and easily extendable platform, giving the possibility to add extra features even at the racetrack. This allows the system to serve as a research platform for embedded real-time systems and vehicle dynamics. Another motivation is to get low weight on the complete system, and to integrate the electronics in such a way that the total cabling required will be minimal.The initial requirements are that the system should implement launch control, traction control, electric gear shift and clutch control. To control the engine the system must implement sequential fuel injection, direct fire ignition and closed loop lambda control. Moreover to remotely tune and monitor the system parameters in real-time - even on the racetrack, the system should facilitate wireless communication.To achieve these goals a system consisting of five units communicating over a standard automotive bus (CAN1) was developed.In this paper we will describe the systems functionality and the units developed
