Automated gear-shifts are critical procedures for the driveline as they are demanded to work as fast and accurate as possible. The torque control of a driveline is especially important for the driver’s feeling of driveability. In the case of gear-shifts and torque control in general, the boost pressure is key to achieve good response and thereby a fast gear-shift. An experimental study is carried out to investigate the phenomena of boost pressure drop during gear-shift and gather data for the modelling work. Results confirm the stated fact on the influence of boost pressure drop on gear-shift completion time and also indicate a clear linear dependence between initial boost pressure and the following pressure drop. A dynamic predictive model of the engine is developed with focus on implementation in a heavy duty truck, considering limitations computational complexity and calibration need between truck configurations. The resulting approach is based on a mean value modelling scheme that uses engine control system parameters and functions when possible. To be able to be predictive, a model for demanded torque and engine speed during the gear-shift is developed as reference inputs to the simulation. The simulation is based on a filling and emptying process throughout the engine dynamics, and yields final values of several engine variables such as boost pressure. The model is validated and later evaluated in comparison to measurements gathered in test vehicle experiments and in terms of robustness to input and model deviations. Computer simulations yield estimations of the boost pressure drop within acceptable limits. Consid- ering estimations used prior to this thesis the performance is good. Input deviations and modelling inaccuracies are found to inflict significant but not devastating deviations to the model output, possibly more over time with ageing of hardware taken into account. Final implementation in a heavy duty truck ecu is carried out with results indicating that the current implementation of the module is relatively computationally heavy. At the time of ending the thesis it is not possible to analyse its performance further, and it is suggested that the module is optimized in terms of computational efficiency.

<p>In an automated manual transmission it is desired to have zero torque in the transmission when disengaging a gear. This minimizes the oscillations in the driveline which increases the comfort and makes the speed synchronization easier. The automated manual transmission system in a Scania truck, called Opticruise, uses engine torque control to achieve zero torque in the transmission.In this thesis different control strategies for engine torque control are proposed in order to minimize the oscillations in the driveline and increase the comfort during a gear shift. A model of the driveline is developed in order to evaluate the control strategies. The main focus was to develop controllers that are easy to implement and that are robust enough to be used in different driveline configurations. This means that model dependent control strategies are not considered.A control strategy with a combination of a feedback from the speed difference between the output shaft speed and the wheel speed, and a feedforward with a linear ramp, showed very good performance in both simulations and tests in trucks. The amplitude of the oscillations in the output shaft speed after neutralengagement are halved compared to the results from the existing method in Scania trucks. The new concept is also more robust against initial conditions and time delay estimations.</p>

La transmission à double embrayage a été introduite dans les véhicules afin d'améliorer le confort de conduit, l'économie de conduite et de diminuer le temps de changement de vitesses. La gestion du double embrayage joue un rôle important sur le confort de conduite. L'objectif principal de ce travail concerne alors la synthèse des lois de commande du double embrayage en phase de décollage et lors du changement de vitesses. Le mémoire est structuré de la façon suivante : le premier chapitre propose un état de l'art sur le groupe motopropulseur, la modélisation et la commande du groupe motopropulseur. Le second chapitre s'intéresse à la modélisation du groupe motopropulseur à double embrayage : dans une première partie, un modèle complet à simuler est développé, puis la deuxième partie propose une simplification de modèle en vue de la commande. Le troisième chapitre aborde les lois de commande du double embrayage en utilisant la technique de commande par mode glissant pour les systèmes multivariables. Le quatrième chapitre propose l'utilisation des modèles flous du type Takagi-Sugeno pour la synthèse des lois de commande. Dans une première partie, des lois de commande basées sur un modèle Takagi-Sugeno prenant en compte des incertitudes et des perturbations sont établies. Afin d'améliorer la performance de la loi de commande lors du changement de vitesses supérieures, la deuxième partie présente une loi de commande basée sur un modèle de Takagi-Sugeno incertain et perturbé à commutations. Enfin, des résultats de simulation obtenus en considérant le modèle complet développé dans le chapitre 2 sont donnés. / Dual clutch transmission systems were introduced in vehicles to upgrade the driving comfort, the energy economy, and to minimize the shift time. Dual clutch management is a key point when considering driving comfort, particularly during the gearshift. Thus, the main objective of this work is the synthesis of control laws for dual clutch transmission during launch and gearshift. The first chapter presents an overview about vehicle powertrain, modeling and control. The second chapter focuses on modeling the dual clutch transmission. In a first part a complete model for simulation is developed, and in a second part, the model is simplified for the laws control design. The third chapter proposes control laws of the dual clutch using sliding mode control approach for a MIMO system. The fourth chapter deals with the application of state feedback control based on Takagi-Sugeno model. The first part proposes control laws taking into account uncertainties and disturbances. In order to improve the performance of the control law during upshifting, the second part proposes a control law based on a switched Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model in the presence of parametric uncertainties and disturbances. Finally, control laws are tested in simulation on the complete model developed in Chapter 2.
