Multiple clutch transmission control apparatus and multiple clutch transmission control method

A multiple clutch transmission control apparatus comprising:

• a first main shaft including odd-numbered transmission gears;
• a first clutch arranged to transfer or block engine torque to the first main shaft;
• a second main shaft including even-numbered transmission gears;
• a second clutch arranged to transfer or block the engine torque to the second main shaft;
• an output shaft including driven gears arranged to mesh with the odd-numbered transmission gears and the even-numbered transmission gears, the output shaft transferring rotation of the first main shaft or the second main shaft to a driving wheel;
• and
• a transmission control section arranged to switch from a previous gear to a next gear by changing a torque transfer path by controlling the first clutch and the second clutch in a clutch changeover period;
• wherein
• the transmission control section is arranged to decrease a clutch torque capacity of a previous-gear-side clutch from among the first clutch and the second clutch to a target value in a torque transfer preparation phase, and then change the torque transfer path in the clutch changeover period by increasing a clutch torque capacity of a next-gear-side clutch from among the other of the first clutch and the second clutch to the target value while maintaining the clutch torque capacity of the previous-gear-side clutch at the target value, and then decreasing the clutch torque capacity of the previous-gear-side clutch.
