Abstract

The slip control during clutch engagement process is essential to ensure drive quality in terms of driveline jerk and slipping time for automated transmissions. Internal Model Control (IMC) has advantages in simplifying control algorithm and improving robustness. In this work, a Two-Input Two-Output (TITO) IMC for robust engagement of clutches is proposed. Considering two reference inputs in different styles, the closed-loop control system is decoupled with control blocks dealing with the two reference inputs independently. Simulation results show that the proposed IMC gains better performance than the conventional IMC without differentiating the reference input types, and also better than the sliding mode control.
