Novel Tensor Product Models for Automatic Transmission System Control

Abstract

This paper discusses novel tensor product (TP) models for the control of two complex components of the vehicle automatic transmission systems, namely the drive line without clutch and, the valve–clutch. The TP models are obtained by a transformation of the linear parameter-varying models derived from the first principle nonlinear mathematical models of the controlled processes. Experimental results validate the performance of the proposed TP models.
