Systems and methods for crankshaft tooth encoding

Abstract:

Embodiments, systems, and methods for crankshaft tooth encoding for a crank pulse wheel of a vehicle are provided. In some embodiments, a system for crankshaft tooth encoding includes a read module, a buffer module, and a position module. The read module identifies a tooth type for N number of teeth in a sliding buffer based on at least one tooth characteristic. N is a positive integer less than a total number of teeth of the crank pulse wheel. The buffer module calculates a buffer value for the sliding buffer corresponding to a tooth represented in the sliding buffer. The position module determines an angular position of the crank pulse wheel based on the buffer value. The position module broadcasts the angular position to one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle.
