A robust throttle valve control has always been an attractive problem since throttle by wire systems were established in the mid-nineties. Often in control strategy, a feedforward controller is adopted in which an inverse model is used. Mathematical inversions of models imply a high order of differentiation of the state variables and consequently noise effects. In general, neural networks are a very effective and popular tool mostly used for modeling. The inversion of a neural network produces real possibilities to involve the networks in the control problem schemes. This paper presents a control strategy based upon an inversion of a feed forward trained local linear model tree. The local linear model tree is realized through a fuzzy neural network. Simulated results from real data measurements are presented in which two control loops are explicitly compared.
