The work proposed in this project addresses the development of a                sensing mechanism for real-time detection of fuel quantity and rate             applied to the closed-loop fuel injection control for diesel engines.           A novel approach will be pursued involving rapid signal analysis of             the needle lift of a modified injector, using an intelligent sensor             interface to the main engine controller.  The project includes the              experimental validation of the sensing method, the study of improved            computer architectures for the intelligent sensor interface, and the            evaluation of the potential of closed-loop fuel control for improving           the emissions and operational characteristics of diesel engines.
