Abstract

In this paper, mathematical model of relationship between clutch engaging speed and engine output torque is firstly established to solve the problem of clutch engaging speed in AMT vehicle starting process, basing on analysis of the reduced kinetic model of clutch. Then multi-modal fuzzy control algorithm is adopted to precisely predict clutch engagement stage, and then driver's intension is considered to fuzzy control the clutch engaging speed. Finally, simulation modal is established. The simulation results show that, basing on the drivers intension and external environment, the control strategy proposed in this paper not only makes the vehicle start fast and stably, but also reduces slip friction work with the premise of comfort, which extends clutch working life and obtains better control performance in clutch starting process.
