Drivability and fuel economy are continuously emphasized during the development of automobiles, and shift quality is the most important part of the drivability. To improve the shift quality, the integrated powertrain control strategy for gear shifting is presented in this paper. First of all, the transmission control strategy based on the turbine speed trajectory is proposed. Furthermore, an output torque observer is determined to implement the coordinated engine control, and then the torque based coordinated engine control is presented. Finally, the integrated powertrain control strategy is studied by experiments. The experimental results show that the integrated powertrain control reduces the shift jerk and the dissipated clutch energy during gear shifting.

This paper presents an experimental study on engine control strategy during gear shifting for a Unimog U4000 equipped with an automated mechanical transmission (AMT) based on the controller area network (CAN) bus. First, an integrated powertrain control system based on the CAN bus is introduced. Second, the ideal AMT gear shifting process is described, and the engine control strategy during gear shifting is proposed. Then, the communication information for the engine control unit (ECU) and transmission control unit (TCU) during gear shifting is determined based on the SAE J1939 protocol. Finally, effectiveness is verified by the experimental results. The experimental results show that: engine control during gear shifting based on the CAN bus can meet the requirement for real-time operation; the engine control strategy presented in this paper during gear shifting can achieve good shift quality with shorter shifting time and less vehicle speed loss.

Control Principle

Shift process of automatic transmission is divided into torque phases and inertia phase, and the control principle of clutch to clutch shift is studied with the lever method. Then, inertia phase engine and transmission integrated control principle and entire shift process engine and transmission integrated control principle are respectively studied with taking power on up shift as study example and taking the transmission output torque fluctuations during shifting minimum as control target. Simulation results are compared to the results of power on up shift without engine and transmission integrated control, and it is proved that the transmission output torque overshoot peak with inertia phase engine and transmission integrated control strategy is decreased significantly and shifting jerks are reduced. Shift quality is improved significantly.

Abstract In this paper, we study the analytical and experimental control of a 7-DOF robot manipulator. A model-free decentralized adaptive control strategy is presented for the tracking control of the manipulator. The problem formulation and experimental results demonstrate the computational efficiency and simplicity of the proposed method. The results presented here are one of the first known experiments on a redundant 7-DOF robot. The efficacy of the adaptive decentralized controller is demonstrated experimentally by using the Baxter robot to track a desired trajectory. Simulation and experimental results clearly demonstrate the versatility, tracking performance, and computational efficiency of this method.

Highlights A power shift control strategy based on torque and speed transition, which aims to deliver multiple target and multiparameter optimization of power shift control, is proposed in this study. It can effectively solve the shift power cycle. Based on minimum optimal control theory, the optimal control of shift quality during power shifting optimizes clutch terminal oil pressure, which is determined by solving the Rebecca differential matrix equation and shift characteristics based on various stages. By aiming at the multiple target and multiparameter optimization problem of the clutch control in the power shift process, the minimum optimal control principle is applied to the shift quality optimization of the power shift. Based on the minimum optimal control theory, the optimal solution of the terminal oil pressure of the clutch is determined by solving the Rebecca differential matrix equation to improve the shift quality of the power shift process. Abstract . The dual clutch of the combined transmission of a tractor with large horsepower uses a dynamic shifting process, in which only one clutch undergoes slipping friction during the shift. A power shift control strategy based on torque and speed transition, which aims to deliver multiple target and multiparameter optimization of power shift control, is proposed in this study. Based on minimum optimal control theory, the optimal control of shift quality during power shifting optimizes clutch terminal oil pressure, which is determined by solving the Rebecca differential matrix equation and shift characteristics based on various stages. In addition, the power shift simulation model of the double clutch is established. Simulation results show that the power shift control strategy based on single slip friction can effectively avoid power flow cycle, uninterruptible tractor power shift, and adaptive resistance change. The minimum optimization theory can effectively reduce the output torque fluctuation in the dynamic shift process, reduce friction work, and improve the shift impact.

Valid Solution

The calibration of the engine control unit is increased for the development of the whole automotive system. The aim is to calibrate the electronic engine control to match the decreasing emission requirements and increasing fuel economy demands. The reduction of the number of tests on vehicles represents one of the most important requirements for increasing efficiency of the engine calibration process. However, the definition of the design of experiment is not straightforward because the data is not known beforehand, so it is difficult to process and analyse this data to achieve a globally valid model. To reduce time effort and costs the virtual calibration can be a valid solution. This procedure is called software in the loop (SIL) calibration able to develop a process to systematically identify the optimal balance of engine performance, emissions and fuel economy. In this work, a virtual calibration methodology is presented by using a two-stage model to get minimum exhaust emissions of a diesel engine. The data used are from a GT-Power model of a 3L supercharged diesel engine. The model is able to calculate the engine emissions for different engine parameters (such as the start of injection, EGR fraction and rail pressure) and from optimisation process, new injection start maps that reduce pollutant emissions are created.

Car Accidents

Based on data from the Indonesian Traffic Corps by September 2019, the number of car accidents was dominated by rear-hit crashes with 6,966 accidents. Most of these accidents occurred during car convoys. It needs a car-to-car communication to increase driver awareness. One of the technologies that can be applied is Visible Light Communication (VLC) and infrared communication. The transmitted data are the vehicle speed data, throttle position, and brake stepping indicator. The data are obtained by reading the Engine Control Unit (ECU) in the car. The data are packaged from the three data and sent to other cars at day and night using VLC and infrared communication. The experimental results show that in a communication system that uses VLC, data can be exchanged between cars during the day up to 2 meters and at night up to 11 meters. Otherwise, in infrared communication, vehicles can communicate during the day up to 2 meters and at night up to 0.7 meter. The test was also carried out with some conditions such as rain, smoke, passers, and other vehicle lights.
