    摘要: A method of identifying a synchronous position of a synchronizer actuator fork includes sensing a deceleration rate of a first shaft, when a synchronizer is positioned in a neutral position, to define a first rate of deceleration. The synchronizer is moved along the first shaft from the neutral position toward a gear with a synchronizer actuator fork. A deceleration rate of the first shaft is sensed, while the synchronizer actuator fork moves the synchronizer along the first shaft, to identify a change from the first rate of deceleration to a second rate of deceleration. The location, of the synchronizer actuator fork relative to the first shaft, at which the rate of acceleration of the first shaft changes from the first rate of deceleration to the second rate of deceleration, is identified as the synchronous position of the synchronizer actuator fork.

    摘要: A vehicle includes an engine, first clutch, transmission, and controller. The transmission includes a gearbox, position sensors, and a fluid circuit. The gearbox contains a second clutch. The fluid circuit includes a pump and a flow control solenoid valve. The controller opens the valve via flow control signals to allow fluid to pass into or from the particular clutch it feeds. The controller executes steps of a method to determine an actual flow rate through the valve as the clutch moves, and also calculates a compensation scale factor as a ratio of the commanded and actual flow rates. The controller modifies the flow control signals in a subsequent clutch actuation using the compensation scale factor, such as by multiplying a commanded flow rate corresponding to the flow control signals by the compensation scale factor. A system includes rotatable members connected by a clutch, the controller, valve, and position sensor.

    摘要: A method for learning the bite point of a position-controlled clutch in a vehicle having an engine and a transmission includes commanding an engagement of a clutch fork via a controller when the transmission is in park and the engine is idling. The method also includes controlling an apply position of the clutch via the controller, calculating a clutch torque capacity of the clutch, and measuring the apply position via a position sensor. The apply position is recorded as the clutch bite point when the calculated clutch torque capacity equals a calibrated clutch torque capacity. The transmission is then controlled using the recorded clutch bite point. A system includes the transmission, input clutches, and a controller configured to execute the method. A vehicle includes an engine, the transmission, the position-controlled input clutch, and the controller, as well as a clutch position sensor.

    摘要: A vehicle includes an engine, a transmission, and a controller which executes a method. The transmission includes a clutch having an actuator which applies the clutch using position-based control logic. The transmission also includes a fluid pump and a variable-force or other solenoid valve positioned downstream of the pump and upstream of the clutch. The valve outputs a flow rate (Q) for a corresponding solenoid control current (I). The controller adapts a calibrated Q vs. I characteristic table of the valve for different transmission temperatures by applying closed-loop position control signals to the actuator at the different transmission temperatures and recording a null point(s) describing the corresponding solenoid control current (I) at a zero flow rate condition. The controller calculates an offset value for solenoid control current (I) using the recorded null point(s), applies the offset value to the characteristic table, and controls the clutch using the adapted characteristic table.

At least one function of a scope of functions of the autonomous vehicle is restricted in the first remote operation mode and the second remote operation mode.
