Figure 10. The upper part illustrates the design of experiments (DoE) given by the injection mass signal and the lower part indicates the associated system response (exhaust temperature). The snapshot is taken exactly when the initial DoE sequence (first 300 samples) is applied to the system. The outlook on the future model-based DoE (mDoE) ranges from the 301st to the 320th sample. For the future mDoE, the exhaust temperature is demanded to comply with the feasible range from 620K to 780K.

Figure 11. The upper part illustrates the design of experiments (DoE) given by the injection mass signal and the lower part indicates the associated system response (exhaust temperature). The snapshot of the DoE procedure has been taken after Figure 10 when 190 samples of the model-based DoE sequence (mDoE) have already been applied to the system. The applied mDoE sequence (301st to 490th sample, grey line) generates a system response that stays well within the feasible exhaust temperature range. The outlook on the future model-based DoE (solid black line) ranges from the 491st to the 510th sample.

The snapshot of the DoE procedure has been taken after Figure 11 when 380 samples of the model-based DoE (mDoE) sequence have already been applied to the system (301st to the 680th sample, grey line). The applied mDoE sequence generates a system response that stays well within the feasible exhaust temperature range. The outlook on the future model-based DoE (solid black line) ranges from the 681st to the 700th sample.
