DTS (Double Transition Shift) transmission can achieve multiple-speed automatic transmission by using minimum number of planetary gear sets and clutches. Historically DTS transmission has been overlooked because of the complexity to perform high quality shifts. In this paper, a vehicle model with a traditional AT (Automatic Transmission) is studied first using Matlab/SimDriveline; the simulation results and the vehicle road test data show good agreement. Then a DTS transmission is established based on the same vehicle model. An open-loop control module is developed. All possible parameters which can influence the shift performance are studied.
