전북 익산시 R회사에서 기 개발된 세미오토 클러치는 수동클러치 차량의 기어 변속시 클러치 페달을 밟아야하는 불편함을 해소하고자 만들어진 장치로써 클러치 페달을 밟지 않고, 운전자가 기어봉에 위치한 스위치 조작만으로도 클러치 동작을 제어할 수 있다. 차량의 변속과정에서 클러치 동작을 제어하기 위해 센서를 설치하여 차량정보를 수집하여 제어하였다. 그러나, 센서 기반의 제어기는 열악한 운전조건에서 고장 원인이 되고 있으며, 차량에 설치하고 보수하는 과정에서 시간소요가 과다하여 많은 불편을 가지고 있었다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 차량의 ECU와 CAN통신을 통해 차량의 주행정보를 수집하여 제어하고, 공압 액추에이터로 클러치를 동작시키는 세미오토 클러치를 개발하였다. 개발된 공압 액추에이터의 정상적인 동작을 위해서는 최소 3bar이상이 요구되었다.

The automated mechanical transmission(AMT) is composed of electronic control management(ECM) and automatic shift gear(ASG). The AMT has advantages which are high efficiency of manual transmissions(MT) and offer operation convenience similar to automatic transmissions(AT). However, it has defects that are the torque gap during gear shift transients and shift time is long. To reduce such defects, it is necessary practically to evaluate error and characteristics as developing simulation model before the control algorithm is applied. In this paper, models are composed of vehicle model and AMT shift control model. Particularly AMT shift control model consists of main clutch management model (MCM) and shift control management model(SCM). The developed models were verified by comparing the simulated and experimental results under the same operational conditions. It can also be used to evaluate shift algorithm.

To improve the performance of clutch actuator of clutch-by-wire system for commercial vehicles, it is necessary to understand the driving characteristics of the system. To explain and predict the effects of driving characteristics on clutch characteristics, AMESim software is used. The simulation model of clutch-by-wire system is developed in the AMESim environments under the geometrical dimensions and driving mechanisms of the clutch-by-wire system, such as the rotation speed of the DC motor, the gear ratio of the reducer, the design parameters of the release fork, the coefficient of the clutch diaphragm spring, and so on. The results show that the theoretical analysis of the clutch-by-wire system for commercial vehicles using the AMESim software find out the driving characteristics of the clutch actuator, and predict the performance characteristics of the clutch-by-wire system.
