ABSTRACT
Engine speed control is a classical issue in automotive control applications. The performance of engine speed has significant impacts on vehicle design attributes such as comfort, emission, and fuel economy, especially during transitional operations [15, 16]. In the community of control engineering, this has led to many approaches to tackle the speed control problem, such as l1 optimal control [17], sliding mode control [18], fuzzy control [15], adaptive control [19], model predictive control [20], and others referring to the references therein.
