Abstract
Engine speed control through variation in ignition timing of an air-fuel mixture in engine cylinders to vary engine output torque in response to current and predicted future engine speed error includes a proportional-derivative control strategy for damping engine speed oscillations, includes an additive combustion timing offset determined as a function of accessory load status for simplified calibration, and includes control gains determined as a function of a predicted future engine intake manifold absolute air pressure to better predict and compensate engine load changes and determined as a function of predicted future engine speed to stabilize combustion timing.
