Regenerative braking control method of hybrid vehicle

The present disclosure relates to a technique for improving durability of a clutch and shifting stability. The present disclosure provides a method of controlling a clutch of an automated manual transmission (AMT) vehicle, which reduces a micro-slip control time in order to improve durability of the clutch by performing a full-lock control of the clutch after slip control for learning a clutch characteristic curve. Additionally, the method shortens time to open the clutch for a subsequent shifting by predicting the time when a shift restarts after the full-lock control and by resuming the micro-slip control.

A control method for a vehicle with a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) may include: determining whether it is a wheel speed-unknown state by a TCU, determining whether an input shaft speed sensor is in a normal state when it is the wheel speed-unknown state, determining whether IG-OFF occurs when it is the wheel speed-unknown state and the input shaft speed sensor IS for is in a normal state, storing information related to the current wheel speed-unknown state and an output shaft speed of the DCT determined by the input shaft speed sensor, determining whether the TCU is not in TCU latch-off and whether it was the wheel speed-unknown state immediately before IG-OFF on the basis of the stored data, when IG-ON occurs, and performing pre-engaging on the basis of the DCT output shaft speed stored immediately after IG-OFF, when the TCU is not in latch-off and it was the wheel speed-unknown state immediately before IG-OFF.

Control method for vehicle with DCR

The present disclosure provides a control method for a vehicle with a DCT, the method including: a diagnosing step of disengaging a corresponding clutch and limiting engine torque to suppress an increase in engine RPM when a controller detects an error from a hall sensor signal, and then applying a test pulse for diagnosing the hall sensor; a reset attempting step of attempting to reset the clutch to an initial position when the controller determines that the hall sensor signal is normal after the diagnosing step; and a returning step of starting normal control of the clutch from the initial position to a target clutch stroke by means of the controller and of removing the limiting of the engine torque, when the clutch is reset to the initial position in the reset attempting step.
