SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENERGY RATE BALANCING IN HYBRID AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
A hybrid system includes a transmission control module, a power source, a transmission, and a drive train. The transmission control module partially operates the hybrid system and receives operating information from various components of the system, calculates power losses in the drive train, and calculates the driving torque needed to reach a target power profile determined from a driver's input.

Clutch control system for vehicle
A clutch control system for vehicle is applied to a vehicle having a clutch and a transmission disposed in a power transmission path from an engine to a vehicle wheel. The system includes a first rotational speed detecting unit to detect a driving side rotational speed of the clutch, a second rotational speed detecting unit to detect a driven side rotational speed of the clutch, a half-clutch control unit, and a half-clutch transition control unit. The half-clutch control unit executes a first half-clutch control on the clutch actuator when a gear position of the transmission and a rotational direction of a driven side portion of the clutch are matched and executes, on the clutch actuator, a second half-clutch control, differing from the first half-clutch control, when the gear position of the transmission and the rotational direction of the driven side portion of the clutch are not matched.

System, method, and apparatus for operating a high efficiency, high output transmission
A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. A controller controls the shift actuator utilizing an actuating pulse and an opposing pulse.
Lock-up clutch controller
A lock-up clutch controller includes a lock-up clutch and one or more processors. The lock-up clutch is configured to directly couple an engine to an automatic transmission without via a torque converter interposed between the engine and the automatic transmission. The one or more processors are configured to control engagement and disengagement of the lock-up clutch. The one or more processors are configured to, in the middle of the engagement of the lock-up clutch, set a lower limit value of engine torque based on engagement torque of the lock-up clutch, and control the engine to inhibit the engine torque from falling below the lower limit value.
Work vehicle
A work vehicle includes a controller configured or programmed to include an input revolutions number calculator to calculate an input revolutions number, and a vehicle speed controller switchable between a first vehicle-speed control mode and a second vehicle-speed control mode. In the first vehicle-speed control mode, the vehicle speed controller is configured or programmed to control a vehicle speed of the work vehicle based on a value detected by an input rotation sensor. In the second vehicle-speed control mode, the vehicle speed controller is configured or programmed to control the vehicle speed based on a value calculated by the input revolutions number calculator.
METHOD FOR CALIBRATING FEEDBACK GAINS OF AN LQI CONTROLLER
A method for calibrating the feedback gains of an LQI controller implemented in an electronic control unit operatively connected for controlling operation of a physical electric or electro-mechanical device of a dynamic physical system, in particular a vehicle powertrain, wherein the method of calibrating the LQI controller includes: obtaining values of various physical parameters of the dynamic physical system; inserting the obtained values of the physical parameters into predetermined equations for calculating numerical values of the individual terms of a P matrix, wherein the P matrix is the solution to the Algebraic Riccati equation, and wherein said equations include the physical parameters of the system; and calculating new feedback gains for the LQI controller based on the matrix equation
based on an arbitrarily chosen positive value of r, wherein the terms of the K matrix corresponds to the feedback gains.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING GEAR SHIFTING OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A method for controlling gear shifting of a hybrid electric vehicle is applied to a transmission control unit, and includes: transmitting, at an interval of a preset time period and via a vehicle control unit (VCU), a first torque control instruction to a first microcontroller unit (MCU) and a second torque control instruction to a second MCU; transmitting, in response to a difference between a rotational speed of an integrated starter and a rotational speed of the clutch being within a preset speed difference range and via the VCU, a rotational speed control instruction to the first MCU and a gear shift instruction to the second MCU; and transmitting, in response to receiving a TM gear-shifting completion instruction, at an interval of a preset time period and via the VCU, a third torque control instruction to the first MCU and a fourth torque control instruction to the second MCU.
Vehicle drive device
A control device is configured to perform torque response slip control for bringing an engagement device into a slip engaged state so that transfer torque of the engagement device has a magnitude corresponding to required torque, shift control for shifting the shift speed of an automatic transmission, and transfer torque limit control for limiting the transfer torque of the engagement device to a value equal to or less than a limit value smaller than the required torque, the required torque being torque that is required to be transferred from the rotating electrical machine side to the automatic transmission via the engagement device that connects and disconnects power transmission between the rotating electrical machine and the automatic transmission. The control device performs the transfer torque limit control instead of the torque response slip control in a case where the torque response slip control is being performed when performing the shift control.
