Parameter Determination of Dynamic Sensor Model with Particle Swarm Optimization Technique

An accurate mathematical model is a useful tool for analysis and design of sensor systems. In this paper, a novel approach based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to determine the parameters of dynamic sensor model. A hot-film mass airflow (MAF) sensor, which is used to measure the intake mass airflow in the engine systems of automobile, has been used as a simulation example for demonstration. The results indicate that the PSO is an effective technique for determining the parameters of dynamic sensor models.
