This clutch control device includes an engine (13), a transmission (21), a clutch device (26) configured to connect and disconnect motive power transmission between the engine (13) and the transmission (21), a clutch actuator (50) configured to drive the clutch device (26) and change a clutch capacity, a control parameter sensor (58) configured to detect a control parameter of the clutch capacity and a control unit (60) configured to calculate a control target value (TP) of the control parameter. The control unit (60) causes the clutch device (26) to perform a stroke in a connection direction until an actual measurement value of the control parameter reaches the control target value (TP). The control unit (60) corrects the control target value (TP) in accordance with at least one of a rotational speed (NE) of the engine (13) and a difference between the target value and the actual measurement value of the control parameter in a stroke process (K3) of causing the clutch device (26) to perform the stroke in the connection direction.

A method and device for controlling an engine clutch of a hybrid vehicle are provided. The method includes setting a target speed of an engine to change a driving mode of the hybrid vehicle from an EV mode to an HEV mode and operating a HSG to adjust an engine speed to reach the target speed. An engine clutch that connects the engine with a driving motor or disconnects the engine from the driving motor is engaged to start when the speed of the engine is maintained at the target speed. A kiss point generated when the engine clutch is in a slip state is detected to learn the kiss point of the engine clutch and an output of the engine is increased based on a driver required torque when the speed of the engine and a speed of the driving motor are synchronized after the kiss point is learned.

A method for automatic detection of need for clutch calibration includes registering and storing in a data memory, before or in connection with engine shut down, a value of a clutch operating parameter, registering a corresponding value of the clutch operating parameter in connection with subsequent engine start up, and determining need for clutch calibration if the difference between the stored value of the clutch operating parameter and the corresponding value of the clutch operating parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

A touch point correction method includes determining respective temperatures of a first pressure plate, a second pressure plate, and a center plate and measuring an average temperature of the determined temperatures, determining rotational inertia based on the measured average temperature, determining a touch point correction amount based on the rotational inertia and engine speed of a vehicle, and correcting a touch point of a relevant clutch using the determined touch point correction amount.
