Abstract:Aimed at the problem of starting control of automatic clutch, an improved constant engine speed control strategy has been applied as the total control principle. A new clutch starting fuzzy control strategy by using throttle opening, relative deviation between engine speed and its target and engine speed change rate as the main control parameters was proposed. The strategy was supposed to implement constant engine speed control with jerk constraint. A long-term of experiments have been carried out and the experimental results showed the vehicle could start successfully under various conditions and the starting is smooth and quick, and is able to reflect driver's intention with small engine speed fluctuating. From the experimental result, we could draw the conclusion that the fuzzy control strategy has good self-adaptability.
