Nowadays, most automatic transmissions of passenger car adopt an electronically controlled shifting mechanism to enhance
the driveability and fuel economy. As the performance requirement, especially on shift quality, of automatic transmission
become rigorous in recent years, power train engineers have made an great effort to improve ride comfort during shift. EFautomatic transmissions for FWD passenger car, installed in Hyundai's EF-sonata model, are originally developed by
Mitsubishi Motor Company and equipped with full electronic control system. Its major design features are that clutch-toclutch shifting mechanism is employed for simplified construction and lighter weight and four independently operated
PWM solenoid valves control the applying pressure on the friction elements during shift.
In this paper, EF-automatic transmission was redesigned with proportional control solenoid valves of which control
pressures are directly applied to control elements and modified transmission was tested on transmission-dynamometer to
prove the shifting performance of proposed electrohydraulic control system. We established a dynamic model of EFautomatic transmission power train to investigate the shifting characteristics and proposed a open-loop pressure control
strategy during torque phase in terms of power train static torque analysis and designed a closed-loop controller that is
based on the linearized turbine dynamics model during inertia phase. From the experimental results conducted with
modified EF-automatic transmission in which proportional control solenoid valves are employed, we verified the validity
of the proposed shifting control algorithm and concluded that shifting quality could be improved with the use of
proportional control solenoids.

EF-automatic transmissions for FWD passenger car,
installed in Hyundai's EF-sonata model, are originally
developed by Mitsubishi Motor Company and equipped
with full electronic control system.[1] Its major design
features are that clutch-to-clutch shifting mechanism is
employed for simplified construction and lighter weight
and four independently operated PWM solenoid valves
control the applying pressure on the friction elements
during shift. However, since flow control capacity of the
PWM solenoid valve itself is not enough to meet the
required pressure dynamics for shifting control, second
stage pressure control valve for each solenoid valve is
designed in order to amplify the control flow. Besides, for
each control element, there is an accumulator to get rid of
the ripple pressure due to the low carrier frequency of
PWM driving circuit. Hence, in view of these aspects,
electrohydraulic control system have complicated design
with many elements, i.e., PWM solenoids, spool valves,
accumulators.
INTRODUCTION
Major function of automatic transmission is automatic gear
shifting in order to change driving torque that is
appropriate in view of vehicle speed and driver's intention.
Changing gears in automatic transmission result in not
only transmitted torque ratio but also rotational speed
ratio. Since the inertia of the transmission output shaft
which drives vehicle is much greater than that of engine
rotating part, speed ratio is determined with change in
engine speed as the vehicle speed is nearly constant. In
general, engine speed change during shift occurs within a
very short time period and it could give rise to a large
transient torque variation in output shaft. With regard to
such inherent operation principle of automatic
transmission, a certain amount of transient torque variation
that makes car drivers uncomfortable is inevitable.
However, it could be largely reduced with a pertinent
shifting control algorithm. Nowadays, as the performance
requirement, especially on shift quality, of automatic
transmission become rigorous in recent years, most
automatic transmissions of passenger car adopt an
electronically controlled shifting mechanism to improve
fuel economy as well as to enhance the driveability. But,
unfortunately, as most automatic transmission has an
original design and control-logic should be established
with considering the shifting mechanism, there is no
generalized shifting control algorithm so far.

Torque converter
Road load
In our simulation model for torque converter, we utilize
the dynamic equations of motion corresponding to a
nonlinear, lumped-parameter model.[2] During operation
above the coupling point(i.e., when the one-way clutch
which is connected to stator is overrun), the dynamic
equations are described as a set of four first-order
nonlinear differential equations and for operation below
coupling point, only three first-order differential equations
will result since the stator is held by the reaction of oneway clutch) We could classify the parameters of derived
dynamic equations as geometrical parameters which can be
measured from the geometrical shape of torque converter
and derived parameters which can be computed from the
geometrical parameters. Generally, geometrical parameters
affect the steady-state characteristics and derived
parameters determine the dynamic effect of torque
converter.

Output torque
The time that changes inertia phase from torque phase for
1st-to-2nd upshift is defined as the LR/B reaction torque
due to the 2ND/B constraining torque is greater than the
LR/B constraining torque. But control algorithm decides
the phase change from the turbine speed variation because
that moment can not be detected by TCU. This means that
closed-loop feedback control puts into action slightly later
than the theoretical inertia phase. Unless the shifting
control during torque phase is finished abnormally, LR/B
control pressure should be died out and have no effect on
the turbine dynamics during inertia phase. In addition, the
torque ratio of torque converter during inertia phase could
be approximated nearly 1 from the experimental result.
Considering those assumptions, turbine dynamics during
1st-to-2nd upshift inertia phase can be approximated as
follows.
