With the continuous improvement of the road condition, commercial vehicles get to be faster and more overloaded than before, which puts higher pressure on the vehicle braking system. Conventional friction braking has been difficult to meet the needs of high-power commercial vehicle. The auxiliary braking equipment will become the future trend for commercial vehicle. Hydraulic retarder is superior to secondary braking equipment. Previously hydraulic retarder research mainly focus on flow field analysis, the braking torque calculation, cascade system optimization and control methods for hydraulic retarder. The gas-liquid two-phase flow in working chamber is less researched. Based on this, this article discusses on the hydraulic retarder from two aspects. Firstly, this paper presents a block modeling method for hydraulic retarder system.

This investigation presents a methodology to develop and optimize shift process control strategy to improve shift quality as perceived by drivers during power-on upshift events for Dual Cultch Transmission (DCT) vehicles. As part of the first study, the main factors affecting shift quality during shifting process under typical working conditions are analyzed. And taking the power-on upshift as example, dynamic model of DCT shifting process is build. An Integrated control strategy is proposed for power-on upshift, which during torque phase slipping revolving speed controller is adapted to harmonically control two clutches power switching process, and during Inertial phase engine torque is regulated to synchronize with the value of target gear while holding the oncoming clutch pressure. Oncoming clutch oil pressure gradient in torque phase and engine torque reducing target decrement in inertial phase are chosen as controlled quantity.
