Study on Power-Train Configuration of Hybrid Electric Vehicle Equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission

Abstract

In this paper, the advantage of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) equipped with dual clutch transmission (DCT) was presented. Five HEV simulation models equipped with DCT were built on the basis of AVL CRUISE software. According to different power-train configurations, different control strategies were built by MATLAB/SIMULINK. The advantage and disadvantage of each power-train configurations was analyzed through simulation. The results supplied the foundation for the next step vehicle development.
