Abstract: A starting clutch control device for an automatic transmission has a starting clutch controller. The starting control device controls a transmission torque capacity of a starting clutch interposed in a transmission path in which rotation of the power source is transmitted to wheels while shifting is underway by the automatic transmission. The starting clutch controller controls the transmission torque capacity of the starting clutch such that a rotation trajectory of the power source develops as desired in a low rotation speed range in which the transmission torque capacity control of the starting clutch is necessary. The starting clutch controller causes the transmission torque capacity of the starting clutch to change, when a shift of the automatic transmission occurs during the transmission torque capacity control by the starting clutch controller, in a direction in which the change in the rotation trajectory will occur corresponding to the shift.

Abstract: A method and arrangement controls a regulating variable which determines the rotational speed difference of a clutch by selecting a phase with a curve of the regulating variable specified by a time function during a transient clutch condition. The beginning and the end of this phase are fixed by one or two influencing variables which are specific to the vehicle. One of the influencing variables is determined by the accelerator pedal actuation and another variable is determined by the clutch temperature.

Abstract: An automatic clutch controller for a vehicle that reduces the oscillatory response to clutch engagement. The automatic clutch controller receives inputs from an engine speed sensor and a transmission input speed sensor and develops a clutch engagement signal controlling a clutch actuator between from disengaged to fully engaged. The clutch engagement signal at least partially engages the friction clutch in a manner to cause the measured transmission input speed to asymptotically approach a reference speed employing an approximate inverse model of this oscillatory response. In a launch mode, corresponding to normal start of the vehicle, the reference speed is the measured engine speed. In a creep mode, corresponding to slow speed creeping of the vehicle, the reference speed is a creep speed reference based on the throttle setting and the engine speed. The two modes are selected based upon the throttle setting. The automatic clutch controller preferably includes an integral error function and a differential engine speed function, which together adaptively adjust clutch engagement corresponding to vehicle loading.

Abstract: A system for controlling a friction clutch of a motor vehicle having a continuously variable transmission. The system has an actuator for shifting a clutch plate of the clutch. Vehicle start intention is detected in accordance with a first depression of an accelerator pedal. In response to the vehicle start intention, the actuator operates to shift the clutch plate to a partial engagement position at a maximum speed. The clutch plate is kept at the position and then the clutch plate is shifted from the partial engagement position to an entire engagement position, when the transmission is upshifted.

Abstract: A lock-up clutch control device is provided for a vehicle having a torque converter with a lock-up clutch disposed between an engine and a continuously variable transmission such that the occurrence of shocks during lock-up engagement is suppressed. The vehicle lock-up clutch control device is provided with a control unit that controls the lock-up capacity based on an engine torque signal when engaging the lock-up clutch. The control unit uses a predictive engine torque as the engine torque signal for use in the lock-up capacity control. The predictive engine torque is calculated based on an engine torque air response delay and a hydraulic response delay in the lock-up differential pressure and is faster in response than the actual engine torque.

Abstract: A method of estimating transmission torque of a vehicle dry clutch may suitably estimate a variation in the characteristics of transmission torque relative to the actuator stroke of a dry clutch even during the driving of a vehicle, so that the dry clutch is more suitably controlled. In the method of estimating transmission torque of a dry clutch, a clutch is released so that a slip of the clutch occurs. If the slip of the clutch has occurred, the slip of the clutch is uniformly maintained. If the slip of the clutch is uniformly maintained, a relationship between a stroke of an actuator of the clutch and transmission torque of the clutch is determined from a relationship between the stroke of the actuator and torque of an engine in the uniformly maintained slip state.

Abstract: A control device for a transmission including a clutch driven by an actuator mechanism, such as a motor, is provided. The control device controls the actuator so that the rider does not perceive generation of a braking force when the clutch is shifted from a disengaged state to an engaged state while traveling, thereby enhancing riding comfort. In performing the control to actuate a clutch from a disengaged state to an engaged state, the control device makes a determination about whether or not to restrict engagement of the clutch based on information about a rotational speed on an upstream side of the clutch and information about a rotational speed on a downstream side of the clutch. If it is determined that engagement of the clutch is to be restricted, the control device delays engagement of the clutch until the engine speed is increased to an acceptable level.

Abstract: There are disclosed a method of and an apparatus for regulating the operation of a friction clutch or another torque transmission system in the power train of a motor vehicle. The regulation is such that the operator of the vehicle is informed of a prevailing or impending condition which entails or is about to entail damage to the system or to the entire power train. Such situation can arise in response to excessive and/or prolonged slip of abutting friction surfaces in a friction clutch, overheating of one or more parts of the system for any other reason(s), as a result of improper selection of the transmission speed for starting of the vehicle and/or due to excessive wear upon the friction linings and/or other parts. The remedial undertaking can include such regulation of the system that the ride become uncomfortable to the occupant(s) of the vehicle and/or automatic elimination of the cause(s) of unsatisfactory torque transmission.

Abstract: First temporary capacity reduction control that when acceleration ON is judged during coasting lock-up, brings lock-up clutch (20) into slip state by decreasing torque transmission capacity of lock-up clutch and subsequently returns lock-up clutch to lock-up state by increasing torque transmission capacity is executed. Control unit performing second temporary capacity reduction control that when return of accelerator pedal depression is judged during the progress of returning to lock-up state, decreases torque transmission capacity again and subsequently returns lock-up clutch to lock-up state by increasing torque transmission capacity is provided. In second temporary capacity reduction control, torque transmission capacity is decreased with predetermined torque transmission capacity by which lock-up clutch is not fully disengaged being lower limit value. Abrupt engagement of lock-up clutch and engine racing can be therefore avoided when acceleration is changed from ON to OFF during control of lock-up clutch from disengagement or slip state to lock-up state.

Abstract translation: 在惯性锁定期间判断为加速ON时的第一临时容量降低控制，通过减小锁止离合器的转矩传递容量使锁止离合器（20）成为滑动状态，并且随后将锁止离合器返回到锁定状态 通过增加扭矩传递能力来执行。 控制单元执行第二临时容量降低控制，当在返回到锁定状态的过程中判断出加速踏板下压的返回时，再次降低转矩传递能力，随后通过增加转矩传递能力将锁止离合器返回到锁定状态 被提供。 在第二临时容量降低控制中，转矩传递能力随着锁定离合器未完全脱离的预定转矩传递能力而下降，为下限值。 因此，在控制锁止离合器从脱离或滑动状态到锁定状态的过程中，加速度从ON变为OFF时，可以避免锁止离合器和发动机转速的突然接合。
