摘要： A method of determining, during a clutch re-engagement process, the kiss-point of a vehicle clutch (14) having a driven plate (40) which drives a vehicle from an engine (10) via a multi-ratio transmission (12). The clutch is operated via a clutch actuating mechanism (20, 22) under the control of an electronic control means (36) using a method comprising the steps of: checking that the throttle (18) of the engine is closed and that the vehicle is in an engine overrun condition; partially re-engaging the clutch (14) up to a point (Y) where the clutch increases the engine speed to a substantially constant level below the speed of the driven plate (40) of the clutch; measuring (34) the position of the clutch actuating mechanism (20, 22) when in said partially engaged condition; computing from said position measurement(s) and the known engagement/torque characteristics (T1, T2, T3) of the clutch the current kiss-point position (T); saving said current kiss-point position (T), and completing the engagement of the clutch.

摘要： A clutch control system for the automatic control of a motor vehicle clutch (14) which connects an engine (10) with a gearbox (12) under the control of a driver-operated gear ratio selector lever (24). The control system controls both initial clutch take-up on starting of the vehicle, clutch re-engagement following each ratio change, clutch disengagement on movement of the gear selector lever to change the operative ratio of the gearbox, and clutch disengagement on the coming to rest etc of the vehicle. Additionally the clutch control system includes an anti-baulking routine which is enabled if the gear selector lever (24) is in its neutral position and which when enabled allows engagement of the clutch (14) by increasing the engine speed (Ve) above an idle level.

摘要： A clutch control system for the automatic control of a motor vehicle clutch (14) which connects an engine (10) with a gearbox (12) under the control of a driver-operated gear ratio selector member (24). The control system includes an electronic control unit (36) which controls the level of clutch engagement in response to an engine speed error signal (E) derived from a comparison of current engine speed (Ve) and a reference speed signal (Vr) generated by the control unit. A sensing means (19a) is provided to detect a "foot-off" condition of an engine controlling accelerator pedal (19) and to provide an indication of the full range of movement of the accelerator pedal from the "foot-off" condition to the fully depressed position. The electronic control unit (36) responds to an accelerator pedal "foot-off" signal to ensure that the reference speed signal is above the engine idle signal by a predetermined amount to prevent creeping of the associated vehicle due to partial clutch engagement at engine idle. In the "foot-on" condition of the accelerator pedal the reference speed signal is switched to a level determined by accelerator pedal position which is close to engine idle speed at low levels of accelerator pedal depression so that the clutch will engage to a torque transmitting level thus allowing the vehicle to be manoeuvred at low engine speeds.
