Anti-jerking and traction torque compensation strategy for P3 + hybrid electric vehicle during power upshift

In this study, an anti-jerking and traction torque compensation strategy for P3 + hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) equipped with hybrid automated mechanical transmission (HAMT) during power upshift is proposed. Firstly, to investigate the power upshift characteristics, a powertrain model with three torque ports and flexible drive shaft is established. Secondly, based on the established powertrain model, a hierarchical structure optimization strategy for power upshift is developed. The optimization strategy makes full use of the fast and accurate torque response of the traction motor, aims at simultaneously suppressing the longitudinal jerk and compensating the traction torque, solves the optimal traction motor torque to improve the power upshift performance of P3 + HEV. Finally, a layer-by-layer simulation and a real vehicle test of the power upshift process from first gear to second gear are implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimization strategy. The verification results show that the proposed strategy can realize smooth and traction torque uninterrupted power upshift process at the same time. Compared with the traditional PI controller the proposed optimization strategy can achieve smaller longitudinal jerk.
