Dual clutch transmission systems were introduced in vehicles to upgrade the driving comfort, the energy economy, and to minimize the shift time. Dual clutch management is a key point when considering driving comfort, particularly during the gearshift. Thus, the main objective of this work is the synthesis of control laws for dual clutch transmission during launch and gearshift. The first chapter presents an overview about vehicle powertrain, modeling and control. The second chapter focuses on modeling the dual clutch transmission. In a first part a complete model for simulation is developed, and in a second part, the model is simplified for the laws control design. The third chapter proposes control laws of the dual clutch using sliding mode control approach for a MIMO system. The fourth chapter deals with the application of state feedback control based on Takagi-Sugeno model. The first part proposes control laws taking into account uncertainties and disturbances. In order to improve the performance of the control law during upshifting, the second part proposes a control law based on a switched Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model in the presence of parametric uncertainties and disturbances. Finally, control laws are tested in simulation on the complete model developed in Chapter 2.
