Abstract
A clutch pressure control device includes a request filter unit that calculates a target clutch pressure value from a requested clutch pressure value input in the request filter unit. A feedforward clutch pressure control model unit calculates, from the target clutch pressure value input by the request filter unit, a feedforward current value. A PID control unit calculates a feedback current value from a valve pressure target value for a hydraulic proportional valve controlling the clutch pressure and a feedback actual pressure value. A first calculation unit calculates a hydraulic proportional valve target current value from the input feedforward current value and the feedback current value. The device utilizes measurement methods to find values for a kisspoint pressure of the clutch, a preload pressure of the clutch, and a fill volume of the clutch.
