With the advent of stringent emission regulations, the optimum control of combustion has become a crucial factor in developing vehicles. By using cylinder pressure sensors the combustion process can be analyzed in a direct manner, offering a more efficient method of controlling combustion and emissions. A basic understanding of combustion characteristics and its effect on the cylinder pressure is developed. For a feasibility study, a test bench is setup using pressure sensors, a data acquisition board. an encoder, a personal computer, and other related circuits and systems. A software algorithm for control purposes is also developed and is named P- View.<br/>
