Transmission mounted electric drive type hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) engage/disengage an engine clutch when EV↔HEV mode transitions occur. If this engine clutch is not adequately engaged or disengaged, driving power is not transmitted correctly. Therefore, it is required to verify whether engine clutch engagement/disengagement operates normally in the vehicle development process. This paper studied machine learning-based methods for detecting anomalies in the engine clutch engagement/disengagement process. We trained the various models based on multi-layer perceptron (MLP), long short-term memory (LSTM), convolutional neural network (CNN), and one-class support vector machine (one-class SVM) with the actual vehicle test data and compared their results. The test results showed the one-class SVM-based models have the highest anomaly detection performance. Additionally, we found that configuring the training architecture to determine normal/anomaly by data instance and conducting one-class classification is proper for detecting anomalies in the target data.
