Method of controlling a dual clutch transmission

摘要

A method of controlling the timing of the shift events of a dual clutch transmission (12) that includes the steps of sensing the current output speed of the transmission (12), determining the time required to complete each possible shift event within the transmission (12), and determining an output speed modification value for each possible shift event. The method also includes the steps of determining a shift point output speed for each possible shift event by summing the determined output speed modification value with the current output speed, determining if a shift has been commanded, and providing the determined shift point output speed at which to perform the shift when a shift has been commanded.
