Abstract

A proportional reducing valve is applied here to an automotive automatic transmission system to control shift operation. Its control system must be designed as a robust control system that considers modeling errors caused by changes in the characteristics of the valve. In this study, a braking mechanism of an automotive automatic transmission system is considered. Two-degree-of-freedom control of the rotating speed is studied, in which modeling errors due to changes in the characteristics of a proportional reducing valve are taken into account. A feedback controller is designed, based on μ synthesis, in which both changes in the characteristics of the valve and variations of a frictional coefficient are considered as uncertainties of a nominal model. Introducing a feedforward controller, a two-degree-of-freedom control system is constructed. The control system is examined through experiments using a commercial proportional reducing valve. The shift operation is precisely controlled by the control system under these fluctuating factors.
