Gearshift Control for Automated Manual Transmissions

摘要

A gearshift control strategy for modern automated manual transmissions (AMTs) with dry clutches is proposed. The controller is designed through a hierarchical approach by discriminating among five different AMT operating phases: engaged, slipping-opening, synchronization, go-to-slipping, and slipping-closing. The control schemes consist of decoupled and cascaded feedback loops based on measurements of engine speed, clutch speed, and throwout bearing position, and on estimation of the transmitted torque. Models of driveline, dry clutch, and controlled actuator are estimated on experimental data of a medium size gasoline car and used to check through simulations the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
