Possible answer

This articleAutoSpeed - Common Rail Diesel Engine Management, Part 2 gives some information:

Driving


In normal driving, the injected fuel quantity is determined primarily by the accelerator pedal sensor position, engine speed, fuel and intake air temperatures. However, many other maps of data also have an effect on the fuel injection quantity actually used. These include strategies that limit emissions, smoke production, mechanical overloading and thermal overloading (including measured or modelled temperatures of the exhaust gas, coolant, oil, turbocharger and injectors). Start of injection control is mapped as a function of engine speed, injected fuel quantity, coolant temperature and ambient pressure.

Now we just need confirmation from Mr.Malone
