A new controller is designed for speed and torque
control of a Permanent Magnet DC motor based on

Load speed regulation in compliant mechanical transmission systems using feed...ISA Interchange
The problem of controlling the load speed of a mechanical transmission system consisting of a belt- pulley and gear-pair is considered. The system is modeled as two inertia (motor and load) connected by a compliant transmission. If the transmission is assumed to be rigid, then using either the motor or load speed feedback provides the same result. However, with transmission compliance, due to belts or long shafts, the stability characteristics and performance of the closed-loop system are quite different when either motor or load speed feedback is employed. We investigate motor and load speed feedback schemes by utilizing the singular perturbation method. We propose and discuss a control scheme that utilizes both motor and load speed feedback, and design an adaptive feedforward action to reject load torque disturbances. The control algorithms are implemented on an experimental platform that is typically used in roll-to-roll manufacturing and results are shown and discussed.
This paper introduces experimental comparison study between six and four switch inverter fed three phase induction motor drive system. The control strategy of the drive is based on speed sensoreless vector control using model reference adaptive system as a speed estimator. The adaptive mechanism of speed control loop depends on fuzzy logic control. Four switch inverter conFigureurations reduces the cost of the inverter, the switching losses, the complexity of the control algorithms, interface circuits, the computation of real-time implementation, volume-compactness and reliability of the drive system. The robustness of the proposed model reference adaptive system based on four switch three-phase inverter (FSTPI) fed induction motor drive is verified experimentally at different operating conditions. Experimental work is carried using digital signal processor (DSP1103) for a 1.1 kW motor. A performance comparison of the proposed FSTP inverter fed IM drive with a conventional six switch three-phase inverter (SSTP) inverter system is also made in terms of speed response. The results show that the proposed drive system provides a fast speed response and good disturbance rejection capability. The proposed FSTP inverter fed IM drive is found quite acceptable considering its performance, cost reduction and other advantages features.

Three-phase induction motor (TIM) is widely used in industrial application like paper mills, water treatment and sewage plants in the urban area. In these applications, the speed of TIM is very important that should be not varying with applied load torque. In this study, direct on line (DOL) motor starting without controller is modelled to evaluate the motor response when connected directly to main supply. Conventional PI controller for stator direct current and stator quadrature current of induction motor are designed as an inner loop controller as well as a second conventional PI controller is designed in the outer loop for controlling the TIM speed. Proposed combined PI-lead (CPIL) controllers for inner and outer loops are designed to improve the overall performance of the TIM as compared with the conventional controller. In this paper, dynamic adjustment grasshopper optimization algorithm (DAGOA) is proposed for tuning the proposed controller of the system. Numerical results based on well-selected test function demonstrate that DAGOA has a better performance in terms of speed of convergence, solution accuracy and reliability than SGOA. The study results revealed that the currents and speed of TIM system using CPIL-DAGOA are faster than system using conventional PI and CPIL controllers tuned by SGOA. Moreover, the speed controller of TIM system with CPIL controlling scheme based on DAGOA reached the steady state faster than others when applied load torque.

A Novel Technique for Tuning PI-controller in Switched Reluctance Motor Drive...IJECEIAES
This paper presents, an optimal basic speed controller for switched reluctance motor (SRM) based on ant colony optimization (ACO) with the presence of good accuracies and performances. The control mechanism consists of proportional-integral (PI) speed controller in the outer loop and hysteresis current controller in the inner loop for the three phases, 6/4 switched reluctance motor. Because of nonlinear characteristics of a SRM, ACO algorithm is employed to tune coefficients of PI speed controller by minimizing the time domain objective function. Simulations of ACO based control of SRM are carried out using MATLAB /SIMULINK software. The behavior of the proposed ACO has been estimated with the classical Ziegler- Nichols (ZN) method in order to prove the proposed approach is able to improve the parameters of PI chosen by ZN method. Simulations results confirm the better behavior of the optimized PI controller based on ACO compared with optimized PI controller based on classical Ziegler-Nichols method.

It should be noted that the reference speed is the European urban driving schedule ECE-15 cycle.
Field oriented control and direct torque control are the most popular methods in high
performance industrial control applications for induction motors. Naturally, the strengths and
weaknesses of each control method are available. Therefore, the selection of optimum control
method is vitally important for many industrial applications. So, the advantages and the
disadvantages of both control methods have to be well defined. In this paper, a new and
different perspective has been presented regarding the comparison of the inverter switching

been carried out to compare the inverter switching frequencies and torque responses of
induction motors in the FOC and the DTC systems. The dSPACE 1103 controller board has
been programmed with Matlab/Simulink software. As expected, the experimental studies have
showed that the FOC controlled motors have had a lessened torque ripple. On the other hand,
the FOC controlled motor switching frequency has about 75% more than the DTC controlled.

Optimization of Modified Sliding Mode Controller for an Electro-hydraulic Act...IJECEIAES
This paper presents the design of the modified sliding mode controller (MSMC) for the purpose of tracking the nonlinear system with mismatched disturbance. Provided that the performance of the designed controller depends on the value of control parameters, gravitational search algorithm (GSA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques are used to optimize these parameters in order to achieve a predefined system’s performance. In respect of system’s performance, it is evaluated based on the tracking error present between reference inputs transferred to the system and the system output. This is followed by verification of the efficiency of the designed controller in simulation environment under various values, with and without the inclusion of external disturbance. It can be seen from the simulation results that the MSMC with PSO exhibits a better performance in comparison to the performance of the similar controller with GSA in terms of output response and tracking error.
In high power traction system applications two or more machines are fed by one converter. This topology results in a light, more compact and less costly system. These systems are called multi-machines single-converter systems. The problems posed by different electrical and mechanical couplings in these systems (MMS) affect various stages of the systems and require control strategy to reduce adverse effects. Control of multi-machines single-converter systems is the subject of this paper. The studied MMS is an electric vehicle with four in-wheel PMS motors. A three-leg inverter supplies two permanent magnet synchronous machines which are connected to the front right and rear right wheels, and another inverter supplies the left side. Several methods have been proposed for the control of multi-machines single-inverter systems, the master-slave control structure seems best adapted for our traction system. In this paper, a new control structure based on DTC method is used for the control of bi-machine traction system of an EV. This new control has been implanted in simulation to analyze its robustness in the presence of the various load cases involved in our electric vehicle traction chain. Simulation results indicated that this structure control allowed the stability of the traction system.
Effect of Parametric Variations and Voltage Unbalance on Adaptive Speed Estim...IAES-IJPEDS
Speed Estimation without speed sensors is a complex phenomenon and is overly dependent on the machine parameters. It is all the more significant during low speed or near zero speed operation. There are several approaches to speed estimation of an induction motor. Eventually, they can be classified into two types, namely, estimation based on the machine model and estimation based on magnetic saliency and air gap space harmonics. This paper analyses the effect of incorrect setting of parameters like the stator resistance, rotor time constant, load torque variations and also Voltage unbalance on various adaptive control based speed estimation techniques fed from the machine model. It also shows how the convergence mechanisms of the adaptation schemes are affected during these conditions. The equivalent models are built and simulated offline using MATLAB/SIMULINK blocksets and the results are analysed.
Improvements the direct torque control performance for an induction machine u...IJECEIAES
This article examines a solution to the major problems of induction machine control in order to achieve superior dynamic performance. Conventional direct torque control and indirect control with flux orientation have some drawbacks, such as current harmonics, torque ripples, flux ripples, and rise time. In this article, we propose a comparative analysis between previous approaches and the one using fuzzy logic. Results from the simulation show that the direct torque control method using fuzzy logic is more effective in providing a precise and fast response without overshooting, and it eliminates torque and flux fluctuations at low switching frequencies. The demonstrated improvements in dynamic performance contribute to increased operational efficiency and reliability in industrial applications.
We focus a modern methodology in this paper for adding the fuzzy logic control as well as sliding model control. This combination can enhance the MLS position control robustness and enhanced performance of it.In the start, for an application in an area to control the loops placement and position for the synchronous motor what has permanent magnetic linearity we tend to control the fuzzy sliding mode control. To resolve the chattering issues a designed controller is investigated and, in this way, steady state motion in sliding with higher accuracy is obtained. In this case, method of online tuning with the help of fuzzy logic is used in order to adjust the thickness of boundary layer and switching gains.For the suggested scheme technique, the outcomes of simulation suggest that with the classical SMC the accurate state and good dynamic performance is compared due to force chattering resistance, response by quick dynamic force and external disturbance elements and robustness against them.
This paper describes the design and the simulation of a non-linear controller for two-mass system using induction motor basing on the backstepping method. The aim is to control the speed actual value of load motor matching with the speed reference load motor, moreover, electrical drive’s respone ensuring the “fast, accurate and small overshoot” and reducing the resonance oscillations for two-mass system using induction motor fed by voltage source inveter with ideally control performance of stator current. Backstepping controller uses the non-linear equations of an induction motor and the linear dynamical equations of two-mass system, the Lyapunov analysis and the errors between the real and the desired values. The controller has been implemented in both simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) real-time experiments using Typhoon HIL 402 system, when the drive system operates at a stable speed (rotor flux is constant) and greater than rated speed (field weakening area). The simulation and HIL results presented the correctness and effectiveness of the controller is proposed; furthermore, compared to PI method to see the response of the system clearly.
African vulture optimizer algorithm based vector control induction motor driv...IJECEIAES
This study describes a new optimization approach for three-phase induction motor speed drive to minimize the integral square error for speed controller and improve the dynamic speed performance. The new proposed algorithm, African vulture optimizer algorithm (AVOA) optimizes internal controller parameters of a fuzzy like proportional differential (PD) speed controller. The AVOA is notable for its ease of implementation, minimal number of design parameters, high convergence speed, and low computing burden. This study compares fuzzy-like PD speed controllers optimized with AVOA to adaptive fuzzy logic speed regulators, fuzzy-like PD optimized with genetic algorithm (GA), and proportional integral (PI) speed regulators optimized with AVOA to provide speed control for an induction motor drive system. The drive system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and laboratory prototype is implemented using DSP-DS1104 board. The results demonstrate that the suggested fuzzy-like PD speed controller optimized with AVOA, with a speed steady state error performance of 0.5% compared to the adaptive fuzzy logic speed regulator’s 0.7%, is the optimum alternative for speed controller. The results clarify the effectiveness of the controllers based on fuzzy like PD speed controller optimized with AVOA for each performance index as it provides lower overshoot, lowers rising time, and high dynamic response.
Low Speed Estimation in Sensorless Direct Torque Controlled Induction Motor D...IJPEDS-IAES
Sensorless Direct Torque Control (DTC) is a powerful control scheme for
high performance control of induction motor (IM) drives, which provides
very quick dynamic response with simple structure and a decoupled control
of torque and flux. The performance of the DTC drive greatly depends on the
accuracy of the estimated flux components, torque and speed, using
monitored stator voltages and currents. Low speed estimation is a great
challenge because of the presence of transient offset, drift and domination of
ohmic voltage drop.Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is a non linear adaptive
filter which performs the process of finding the best estimate from the noisy
data based on state space technique and recursive algorithm.This paper
mainly focuses on the accurate estimation of speed ranging from very low
speed to rated speed using the equation of motion. A new state space model
of the IM is developed for estimation in EKF, with load torque as an input
variable and not as an estimated quantity which is the case in most previous
studies.The developed algorithm is validated using MATLAB-Simulink
platform for speeds ranging from low speed to rated speed at rated torque and
at various torque conditions. An exhaustive analysis is carried out to validate
the performance of DTC Induction motor drive especially at the low speeds.
The results are promising for accurate estimation of speed ranging from low
speed to rated speed using EKF.
The paper proposes Direct Torque Control (DTC) of a five-phase induction motor drive with reduced torque ripple. The method presented here is the DTC Backstepping based on the classic DTC working with a constant switching frequency of the inverter. Another remarkable aspect is the complexity of the method proposed, both in the control unit of the inverter and in the number of correctors necessary for the control of the torque. The selection table and hysteresis have been eliminated. This method significantly improves the torque and flux oscillations and improves the dynamics of the drive by making it less sensitive to load torque disturbances. The proposed method is developed and designed using Matlab/SIMULINK to show the eectiveness and performances of the DTC-Backstepping.

Abstract Nowadays, vector controlled induction motor drives with variable speed applications are widely used in order to achieve good dynamic performance and wide speed control. In this paper a new method of controlling technique based on Artificial Neural Network is proposed to improve the speed control of indirect vector controlled induction motor drive. Indirect vector controlled induction motor with conventional PI controller is developed and is replaced with Fuzzy logic controller to overcome the problem of overshoot occurred in conventional PI controller. To obtain quick steady state response and better speed control, ANN technique is proposed and implemented using MATLAB/Simulink. In this paper the speed, torque and stator voltage responses with conventional PI controller, Fuzzy logic controller and proposed artificial neural network based controller are compared and found that the proposed ANN based controller showed increased dynamic performance.

A novel gearshift system which comprises a 2 degree-of-freedom electromagnetic actuator is introduced
to simplify the structure of gearshift system of automated manual transmission (AMT), increase trans-
mission efficiency and improve shift quality. The working principle and characteristics of the actuator
are analyzed. The gearshift process is divided into the non-synchronization and the synchronization
phase. Extended state observer (ESO) based inverse system method (ISM) and active disturbance rejec-
tion controller (ADRC) are designed for the two processes respectively. ISM can eliminate the nonlinearity
of the actuator and ESO can estimate and compensate the uncertainties, parameter variations and
external disturbances. ADRC is adopted to improve the tracking accuracy of the synchronization process.
Comparative simulations and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control
method, and good gearshift performance has been achieved. Combined with the new designed control
strategy, the novel gearshift system provides a new solution for AMT applications.

1. Introduction
Nowadays, vehicle manufactures put more attention on
reducing vehicle fuel consumption due to high fuel price and con-
cerns on global warming. Transmission system is one of the crucial
systems which affect the vehicle fuel economy. Currently, two
main types of transmission used in passenger cars are manual
transmission (MT) and automatic transmission (AT). MT has a high
mechanical efficiency and the driver can select gears autono-
mously. AT is convenient to operate but has relatively higher fuel
consumption. Therefore, a new type of transmission named
automated manual transmission (AMT), which combines the
advantages of AT and MT, represents a promising solution and is
spreading in the recent years [1].
AMT shares a similar mechanical structure with MT, but it is
equipped with electro-mechanical or electro-hydraulic actuators
which are controlled by a transmission control unit (TCU). The fuel
economy of vehicles equipped with AMT is supposed to be
improved compared with vehicles with AT. However, a poorly
designed or controlled AMT system may not achieve desired
results. Torque interruption which leads to driving comfort reduc-
tion is the bottleneck of the AMT for its wide application. However,
the driving comfort can be improved by proper gearshift control
strategy. An integral control strategy aiming to improve gearshift
quality should take into account the reduction of gearshift time,
driveline oscillations, friction work of clutch and synchronizer ring.
Currently, hydraulic and electrohydraulic actuation technolo-
gies are preferred for the control of AMT due to its higher density
and the readily available source of hydraulic power [2]. However,
hydraulic systems may represent up to 50% of the total transmis-
sion loss. Electrohydraulic actuation provides an alternative solu-
tion and it is widely employed in AMT vehicles though the loss
associated with leakage and flow is still present. Besides, electro-
hydraulic systems are complex, having many solenoids valves
and hydraulic lines, which occupy a large volume and are relatively
expensive. Presently, electromechanical actuation system is con-
sidered as an alternative to electrohydraulic system, since it offers
the potential for improving the efficiency, dynamic response and
robustness. Recent investigations to adopt electromechanical actu-
ation for AMT control generally utilize DC motors in conjunction
with reduction gear or motion conversion device to achieve the
desired force and motion. Although this solution offers great
potential for efficiency improvement, the large gear reduction ratio
and low efficiency of the gearbox compromise the performance.
Turner et al. present a direct-drive electromechanical actuation
system for gearshift control of AMT [2,3]. The actuation system
comprises a high-force moving magnet linear actuator and a rotary
actuator. As the actuation system employs the direct-drive
technology, it does not suffer from significant hysteresis,

2. compliance and backlash. Only part of the published research
focuses on the structure innovation of AMT. Galvagno presents a
kind of AMT equipped with an additional flywheel to reduce the
torque gap during the gearshift [4]. R.P.G. Heath proposed the zero-
shift hub which is housed within an existing synchronizer to pro-
vide an uninterrupted path to deliver torque from the engine to
wheels [5]. Sandooja [6] developed a double indexing synchronizer
is developed to amplify the synchronizer capacity so that smooth
gearshift and good shift feeling are achieved.
Current research on AMT is focused on the control of clutch,
gearshift, engine speed and torque [7,8], and many kinds of
intelligent control algorithms such as fuzzy control, optimal con-
trol, sliding mode control, are adopted to solve the nonlinearity of
an AMT system and achieve better gearshift performance [9–11].
However, in spite of the extensive literature on AMT control, the
control methodology is still not mature enough for the wide
application of the AMT system. Few papers about the gearshift
synchronization process when the clutch is disengaged have been
published. Eventhough poorly controlled gearshift synchroniza-
tion process will cause vibration of the driveline and abrasion
of the synchronizer ring. Literature [12] presents the detailed
analysis of the synchronization process, but control method is
not involved.
In this research, a novel gearshift system based on direct-drive
technology is proposed. A totally improved direct-drive electromag-
netic rotary-linear actuator (EMRLA) is developed and adopted as a
gearshift actuator. The gearshift synchronization process is divided
into two main phases, the non-synchronization phase and the
synchronization phase. Speed difference is synchronized during
the synchronization phase and gaps are eliminated during non-syn-
chronization phase. Obviously, the task and the drag force are differ-
ent in each phase. As a result, it is necessary to adopt different
control algorithm to achieve the desired performance. Direct-drive
technology eliminates transmission mechanisms such as reduction
gear and lead screws, which lead to a lower component counts,
improved robustness and dynamic response of the gearshift system.
However, this structural simplification makes the EMRLA easily
affected by model uncertainties and disturbances. As a result, the
requirements for the control method are relatively high. PID control
algorithm is applied in previous work [13]. However, the algorithm
is insensitive to the variation of target displacement but sensitive
enough to the nonlinearity and disturbances, therefore the control
is not precise enough since the gearshift process is nonlinear and
suffers from disturbances. Inverse system method (ISM) is
introduced to eliminate the nonlinearity of the actuator and gear-
shift process [14]. Additionally, extended state observer (ESO) is
used to estimate the uncertainties and disturbances, and compen-
sates these unfavorable factors. The active disturbance rejection
controller (ADRC) is employed during the synchronization phase
[15]. The ADRC is not predicated on precise plant model and is
extremely tolerant of uncertainties and nonlinearity. Known
and unknown disturbances occurring during synchronization
process are lumped together as total disturbance, which is
estimated and compensated by ADRC in real time. Simulation and
experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed
control strategy.

3. 2. The novel gearshift system
Fig. 1 shows the novel gearshift system which employs the
EMRLA as the AMT gearshift actuator. It consists of EMRLA, trans-
mission, shift block, shift lever and displacement sensor. Differen-
tiating from existing AMT gearshift systems, direct-drive
technology is adopted so that the EMRLA acts directly on the shift
rail of AMT. The large reduction gear and motion conversion device
are eliminated, which simplifies the structure of the system and
improves the mechanical efficiency.
The novel gearshift system based on an EMRLA offers a number
of advantages,
(1) Simplified construction and lower component count which
result in improved robustness.
(2) Elimination of reduction gear and motion conversion linkage
which improves efficiency and reduces mechanical hystere-
sis, compliance and backlash.
(3) Adoption of the EMRLA which has high driving ability and
fast dynamic response is beneficial to the reduction of gear-
shift time and the improvement of shift quality.
3. The EMRLA
A prototype of the EMRLA has been developed for gearshift con-
trol. The EMRLA is illustrated schematically in Fig. 2. The actuator
includes a high-force linear part which controls the engagement of
gears and a high-torque rotary part which is coupled to the shaft of
the linear part directly. The rotary part is in charge of gear
selection. The linear part comprises the output shaft, coil, perma-
nent magnets, outer core and inner core. The rotary part comprises
armature, permanent magnets, coils, outer core and inner core.
Both the linear part and the rotary part act on the same output
shaft which is connected with a shift lever as shown in Fig. 1.
The motion of the linear part and the rotary part do not interfere
with each other so that the output shaft can rotate and move
linearly at the same time. In order to achieve high driving ability,
a high energy sintered NdFeB magnet, with a maximum operating
temperature of 180 °C, is selected for the permanent magnet
design.
Fig. 3 presents the working principle of the EMRLA. The direc-
tion of the electromagnetic field and magnetic-curve of the rotary
part are shown in Fig. 3(a). There is a small gap between the arma-
ture and the inner core so that the armature can rotate freely. The
magnetic-curve produced by symmetrical coils overlap on the
armature and drives it to rotate to the right. The armature will
rotate to the left when the coils are energized reversely.
Halbach magnetized topology is utilized to maximize the actu-
ating force of the linear part [16]. The air gap is full of radial mag-
netic field. According to the Fleming’s left-hand rule, the direction
of the electromagnetic force acting on part 1 is towards right. Both
the direction of magnetic field and of current are reverse from part
1 which means the direction of the electromagnetic force is exactly
the same as the part 1. As a result, the output shaft moves towards
right. The motion could be bidirectional since the direction of the
current is alterable. The produced force is nearly proportional to
the current so that accurate motion control is achievable.
The electromagnetic actuator is a coupling system with strongly
interactive subsystems, including electrical, magnetic and mechan-
ical subsystems. The mathematical model can be described as

where U is the voltage applied to the actuator, E is the back electro-
motive force (EMF), I is the current through the coil, R and L repre-
sent the resistance and inductance of the coil respectively, F and T
represent the produced force and torque respectively, km is the force
coefficient and kt is the torque coefficient, m is the moving mass of
the linear part, x denotes the displacement, Fc is the friction force, Jt
is the rotary inertia of the actuator, x is the rotary speed, Td is the
resistance torque. Note that the electrical subsystem for linear part
is the same as the rotary part.
The specifications of the EMRLA are shown in Table 1 [13].
The electrical time constant and the electromechanical time
constant of the electromagnetic actuator are relatively small due
to the low moving mass and rotary inertia, and as a result the
dynamic response of the actuator is definitely fast. Additionally,
the driving ability of the actuator is large enough to realize gear-
shift. The quick response of the EMRLA is conducive to increasing
the controllability of the actuator.
4. Gearshift controller design
This research focuses on the gearshift process after the disen-
gagement of the clutch. The gearshift process can be divided into
several phases according to different research purposes [12,17].
Before the synchronization process, the sleeve moves forward to
eliminate the gap between the synchronizer ring and friction cone.
The synchronization process starts when the friction torque
emerges, and the rotary speed difference decreases. When the
rotary speed difference disappears, the sleeve moves forward again
and finally finishes meshing with target gear. The gearshift process
is divided into two main phases as synchronization phase and

4. non-synchronization phase. The inverse system method (ISM) [18]
is easy to realize in engineering applications. During the non-syn-
chronization process, inverse system method is employed to
achieve linearization of the gearshift system. The ISM of the gear-
shift system can be established by using feedback method. Besides,
an extended state observer (ESO) is introduced to replace the state
observer of the ISM. Model uncertainties and disturbance are esti-
mated and compensated by ESO so that fast and precise gearshift
control is achievable. The active disturbance rejection controller
(ADRC) [19] is a new way of control design, which is independent
of an accurate model and is highly tolerant of uncertainties and
disturbance. Since the disturbance and vibration are immeasur-
able, ADRC is adopted to consider all of these as total disturbance
and compensated by an ESO. It will reduce force ripple which
contributes to the improvement of the shift quality. The scheme
of the controller is shown in Fig. 4.
4.1. ISM-ESO controller design for non-synchronization phase
For a given system, the inverse system of the original system
can be developed by using feedback method. A pseudo-linear sys-
tem is obtained when the inverse system and the original system
are combined. As a result, linear system theory is appropriate to
be applied to achieve high performance. Combined with Eq. (1),
the mathematical model of the gearshift system can be described

where v is the velocity of the sleeve, c is the viscous friction
damping coefficient, S is the displacement of the sleeve. As shown
in the Eq. (1), the input variable of the gearshift system is voltage
u, and the output variable is S. Therefore, the gearshift system is a
single-input single output (SISO) system. The state variables are
given as

The necessary and sufficient condition for the reversibility of
the gearshift system is the existence of the relative order of the
state equation a in a given neighborhood. The step of reversibility
analysis can be described as [18]:
(1) Computing the derivatives of the output equation y = h(x, u)
until the input variable u appears in equation y(a)
= ha(x, u).
(2) If the partial derivative of the equation y(a)
= ha(x, u) is not
equal to zero in the neighborhood of (x0, u0), there is a rela-
tive order a of the gearshift system, and if the relative order
is less than or equal to the dimension of the state vector x, it
is reasonable to conclude that the gearshift system is
reversible.

As a result, the pseudo-linear system has been developed and
linear system theory can be applied.
The pseudo-linear system has a ath-order integral attribute,
thus linearization of the nonlinear system has been achieved. In
this section, state feedback control is used to design a controller
for the pseudo-linear system according to the system control target
(see Fig. 6).

the state feedback controller can be described as

the smallest when the value of the damping ration is 0.707. The

6. Finally, the designed ISM-ESO control method for non-synchroniza-
tion phase is illustrated in Fig. 7. The parameters are: h = 0.0001,
b01 % 10,000, b02 % 625,000, b03 % 73,400,000, b % 23.87.
Stability is the most important characteristics of the control
system. The stability of Eq. (13) under the ISM-ESO controller has
been proved in reference [20,21] by using Lyapunov stability
principle, and Additionally, Lyapunov’s second method for stability
is adopted to prove the stability of the ESO controller in reference
[15].
The designed controller for the non-synchronization phase has
been compared with a tuned PID controller by simulation. In our
previous work, an incremental PID controller was adopted to real-
ize displacement control during the gearshift process [13], and the
controller is
eðkÞ ¼ ydðkÞÀxðkÞ
DuðkÞ ¼ KpðeðkÞÀeðkÀ1ÞÞþKieðkÞþKdðeðkÞÀ2eðkÀ1ÞþeðkÀ2ÞÞ
&
ð19Þ
where yd is the desired displacement, x is the actual displacement, e
is the error between desired and actual values, Kp, Ki and Kd are con-
troller parameters, Du is the increment of the control variable. The
gearshift process was divided into four phases and three of them
except synchronization phase were controlled by PID method.
According to the tuning method described in reference [23], the
controller parameters were determined by trial and error, and the
PID gains for the corresponding phase when the target
displacement is 4 mm are Kp = 13,500, Ki = 0.5, Kd = 10.
Fig. 8 shows the system response with respect to various target
displacement. The target displacements are set to 4 mm and
2.5 mm. Obviously, it is demonstrated that the ISM-ESO control
converges more quickly than PID control does, which ensures a
shorter shift time. When the target displacement is 4 mm, the
transition time of ISM-ESO control and PID control are 17.7 ms
and 24.4 ms respectively. When the target displacement is
2.5 mm, the transition time of ISM-ESO control is 4.9 ms and less
than that of PID control. Besides, since the PID parameters are
tuned when the target displacement is 4 mm, there is an overshoot
while the target displacement changes to 2.5 mm, and the
overshoot is nearly 1.1%. An overshoot may be result in crash of
synchronizer ring and cone which is not allowed. For ISM-ESO
control, no overshoot occurs at either target displacement.
The system parameters such as the coil resistance R may vary
because of some factors. Fig. 9 shows the simulation results when
the value of R increased by 20%. No matter how the R varies, the
simulation results of ISM-ESO control is the same with the original
R. The simulation results of PID control are relatively bad compared
with ISM-ESO control. The variation of R causes steady-state error
with PID control, and the range is 1.7%.
The gearshift system suffers from various disturbances during
gearshift. To test the robustness performance of the ISM-ESO con-
trol, a large step external disturbance F = À100 N is added between
0.01 s and 0.015 s. It can be seen in Fig. 10 that the displacement
trajectory of ISM-ESO control is not influenced to a great extent.In
conclusion, the ISM-ESO control has excellent performance and it
is conducive to improving the shift quality.
4.2. ADRC controller design for synchronization phase
The mathematical model of the synchronization phase can be
described as
Jc
_xc ¼ À Ts

_xs ¼ Ts À TL

where Jc is the equivalent inertia of the input shaft of the AMT, Ts is
the friction torque Js is the equivalent inertia of the output shaft, TL
is the load torque, ig and id is the gear ratio and the differential ratio
respectively, xc and xs represent the clutch speed and the output
shaft speed respectively. Fs is the gearshift force, fs is the friction
coefficient, Rc is the effective radius of the friction cone, a is the half
cone angle.
As it is known, the shift force is the critical factor which affects
the gearshift time, and the degree of impact is mostly influenced by
the change rate of the shift force. As a result, it is necessary to
design shift force control strategy to achieve good shift quality.
Optimal control based on Pontryagin’s minimum principle is
adopted to optimize the change rule of the shift force during the
synchronization phase so that a compromise between synchroni-
zation time and shift quality is obtained, and the result is shown
in Fig. 11. The target of the shift force control is to track the optimal
trajectory precisely. The controller should be reliable when
disturbance and uncertainty occur. Besides, considering that the
optimal trajectory varies according to the different work condition
of the transmission, the controller should adjust itself to track
different trajectories well. The active disturbance rejection
controller (ADRC) is exactly the appropriate control method.

7. The shift force can be described as
Fs ¼ kmI ð21Þ
Hence, the shift force control is converted into the closed-loop
control of current. The back electromotive force is zero during
the synchronization since there is no displacement process. As a
result, the electrical equation in Eq. (1) can be rewritten as

The basic topology of the ADRC is given in Fig. 12, which is com-
prised of a tracking differentiator (TD), an extended state observer
(ESO), and a nonlinear state error feedback (NLSEF) controller.
The TD is used for generating a transitional trajectory v1 of the
desired signal v to improve transition performance especially when
v is a constant. Differential signal of v1 is given as v2 simulta-
neously. The discrete-time form of TD is written as

where rg is a parameter of the function f(v1 À v, v2, rg, h) which

[19].
Non-linear function fal(e, a, d) is defined as the same in Eq. (16).
The control input u can be designed as

where b11 and b12 are controller parameters, a1 and a2 satisfy the
condition 0 < a1 < 1 < a2. The main parameters are: b11 = 10,000,
b12 = 625,000, b0 = 909.
Though the ADRC theory can guarantee the stability of the
ADRC according to the reference [19], switched systems based
multiple Lyapunov function method which was proposed in refer-
ence [22] was adopted to prove the stability of the ADRC controller.
Besides, reference [24] also demonstrated the stability of the ADRC.
The desired trajectory is shown in Fig. 12, and the tracking
errors of the ADRC and PID are compared in Fig. 13. Both the two
controllers achieve good tracking performance, but the error of
ADRC is smaller. In addition, a tiny steady-state error about 0.6%
is seen in the error profile of PID control.

8. 5. Experimental validation
In order to verify the designed gearshift system and assess the
performance of the control strategy, a gearshift test bench is devel-
oped. Fig. 14 shows the arrangement and the main components of
the test bench. It is mainly made up of six parts: actuator, trans-
mission, sensors, variable-frequency motor, control system and
other assistant mechanisms. The engine input is represented by a
variable-frequency motor. The actuator mounted on the transmis-
sion connects with the shift rail through a lever. The test bench is
mounted on a big plate to avoid vibration.
The structure of the controller is shown in Fig. 15. LPC2294
microcontroller is used as main controller since it has many
available on-chip resources. Sensor signals are transmitted to A/D
ports after filtered and amplified by peripheral circuits. The con-
troller deals with the signals and transmits them to PC through
CAN-BUS. The pulse signal produced by speed sensor is captured
by capture module. Modularization method is adopted during
software design.
Fig. 16 shows the displacement response and shift force when
the target displacement is 4 mm. Additionally, a large step distur-
bance F = À50 N is added at t = 0.008 s and removed at t = 0.01 ms.
The response of ISM-ESO control is quicker than that of PID control.
The influence of added disturbance to displacement profile is more
apparent with PID control and the overdamping lasts a long time
compared with ISM-ESO control.

9. Fig. 17 shows the displacement and shift force variations of the
entire gearshift process. The ripple of displacement and shift force
with PID control is more apparent than those with ISM-ESO–ADRC
control. Force ripple will result in vibrations, reduction of the gear-
shift comfort and should be avoided. Fig. 18 shows the degree of
impact of the synchronization process with ADRC control and PID
control. The degree of impact is lower with ADRC control. Besides,
PID control tracks the desired trajectory worse than ADRC control
during the synchronization process. The error curves of synchroni-
zation process in Fig. 19 prove it. Table 2 compares the main
indexes of shift quality with two control methods. Both the maxi-
mum degree of impact and the synchronization time are smaller
with ADRC control. Although the friction work per unit grows a lit-
tle, they are under the permission value 1.2 J/mm2
[25]. It is veri-
fied that the ADRC control track the desired trajectory better and
has decent robustness.
6. Conclusions
A novel gearshift system based on a 2-DOF electromagnetic
actuator is introduced. The novel system eliminates reduction
gears and drives the shift lever directly which improves the
dynamic response and efficiency of the gearshift system. It has a
lower component count which simplifies the system and improves
the robustness. The characteristics of the actuator indicate that the
2-DOF electromagnetic actuator has powerful driving force and
torque. Besides, the dynamic response is fast which is in favor of
improving shift quality.
Since the gearshift process is nonlinear and suffers from uncer-
tainties and external disturbances, robust controller is necessary to
guarantee good gearshift performance. The gearshift process is
divided into synchronization phase and non-synchronization
phase so that more suitable and effective control strategy can be
designed according to the different purpose of each process.
Inverse system method (ISM) is introduced to eliminate the non-
linearity of the actuator. Extended state observer (ESO) is used to
estimate the uncertainties and disturbances, and compensates
these unfavorable factors. The simulation and experiments results
prove that the designed ISM-ESO controller can achieve quick
response, good precision and robustness with respect to various
target displacement during non-synchronization process. The
ADRC is not predicated on precise plant model and is extremely
tolerant of uncertainties and nonlinearity. Compared with PID
control, it tracks desired trajectory better and the tracking error
is relatively small which results in low degree of impact and
synchronization time. Consequently, this novel gearshift system
along with ISM-ESO–ADRC controller provides a new solution for
wide applications of AMT.
