An engine control system is provided with a dual continuously variable valve duration (CVVD) device to optimize engine performance. The system includes an engine with a combustion chamber, an intake valve for selectively supplying an air-fuel mixture, an ignition plug for combustion, and an exhaust valve for expelling exhaust gas. The CVVD device adjusts the intake and exhaust valve durations. A turbine positioned downstream of the engine increases exhaust pressure, followed by a warm-up catalyst to preheat the exhaust gas, and a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) to filter soot. A controller, based on vehicle driving conditions, adjusts ignition timing, intake, and exhaust durations. When lambda (λ) is 1, the controller controls exhaust duration to avoid overlap with intake valve timing by retarding exhaust valve opening and advancing exhaust valve closing, thereby maintaining a negative valve overlap period and enhancing GPF regeneration and emissions control.

A method for controlling intake and exhaust valves of an engine includes: controlling, by an intake continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) device and an exhaust CVVT device, opening and closing timings of the intake valve and exhaust valves; determining, by a controller, a target opening duration of the intake and exhaust valves based on an engine load and an engine speed; modifying, by an intake continuous variable valve duration (CVVD) device and by an exhaust two-stage variable valve duration device, current opening and closing timings of the intake valve and exhaust valve based on the target opening durations. In particular, the exhaust two-stage VVD device switches a current opening duration of the exhaust valve to a first exhaust opening duration or a second exhaust opening duration which is shorter than the first opening duration based on the target opening duration of the exhaust valve.
