Abstract
In this paper, a new discrete-time approach to model the clutches engagement/disengagement in a two-speed powershift is proposed. The core idea is the development of a model for the computation of the exact torque needed to achieve the clutches engagement, including both the cases of single clutch engagement and of simultaneous clutch engagement (full lock condition). Based on this, the control logic for the clutches engagement and disengagement phases is also developed. The advantages in terms of real-time applicability with respect to the continuous-time version are shown through extensive simulation results.
