Abstract
A method and system for controlling the creeping behavior of a vehicle equipped with an automated clutch (4). According to the method for controlling the creeping behavior of a vehicle equipped with an automated clutch (4), the actuation of a brake actuation element (34) is detected. In addition, a creep parameter, which influences creeping and whose magnitude influences the actuation position of the clutch (4), is modified with an increasing actuation of the brake actuation element (34) to reduce the creeping behavior.
Claims14
A method for controlling creep behavior of a vehicle equipped with an automated clutch, comprising:
- detecting actuation of a brake actuating element, a creep parameter influencing a creep of the vehicle, an actuating position of the automated clutch being a function of the creep parameter;
- and
- controlling the creep parameter using a vehicle speed setpoint so that when the brake actuating element is increasingly actuated, the vehicle speed is reduced.
A system for controlling the creep behavior of a vehicle equipped with an automated clutch, the system comprising:
- a brake actuating element;
- a brake sensor sensing actuation of the brake actuating element;
- a clutch actuator for controlling the clutch;
- a speed sensor detecting a rotational speed of a transmission input shaft downstream of the clutch;
- and
- an electronic control device having memory devices and a microprocessor, the electronic control device connected to the brake sensor and clutch actuator, the control device receiving an input from the speed sensor and controlling a speed of the vehicle using a vehicle speed setpoint so as to reduce vehicle creep as the brake actuating element is increasingly actuated.
A method for controlling creep behavior of a vehicle equipped with an automated clutch, comprising:
- detecting actuation of a brake actuating element;
- and
- controlling the automated clutch to attain a vehicle speed setpoint, the vehicle speed setpoint being reduced as the brake actuating element is increasingly actuated.
