Shift Quality Evaluation of DCT Based on TOPSIS Model

After the analysis of shift quality evaluation methods of stepped automatic transmission, the evaluation indexes of shift quality have been established based on power-on up-shift of DCT (dual clutch transmission). Shift quality objective evaluation method of DCT based on TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) model is proposed. Taking the ideal shift process as reference, the shift quality evaluation model based on absolute ideal solution is developed. A comparison with the subjective evaluations shows that the proposed method is in good agreement with the traditional subjective evaluation method. The TOPSIS model provides a new shift quality evaluation approach and thinking for stepped automatic transmission.
