• Resumen

  • In general, gearshift is related to change of acceleration due to the changing gear ratio. Modern double-clutch transmissions allow for shaping the acceleration transition by controlling the torques transmitted by the clutches. Thus, the question arises about an optimal transition law for the acceleration. The paper demonstrates that jerk and change of jerk may be considered as major sources of discomfort. Thus, a bi-criterion optimization problem is formulated for finding an optimal acceleration transition and an associated shift control. The problem is solved by analytical and polynomial approaches, and a theoretically optimal solution is shown. The latter is applied to a simple simulation model of a double-clutch transmission to demonstrate its applicability.
