These days, the usage of Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system is increasing in the transmission systems according to Strategy Analytics [1]. The reason is mainly due to its quicker and smoother transition of gear shifting than conventional single clutched transmissions. Among two main types of DCTs, dry DCT is more beneficial in reducing fuel consumption than wet DCT due to the lack of hydraulic structure. However, dry DCT requires highly precise control due to its mechanical structure. Therefore, the main focus in this paper will be on dry DCT as the main idea of this paper was found during developing its particular control algorithm. Due to this reason, where DCT is mentioned later in this paper, it means “dry” type of DCT. When a conventional hydraulic automatic transmission with single clutch fails, the system simply locks at the third speed gear mechanically.

In the early 1980s, an oxygen sensor was applied to improve the fuel efficiency of automotive embedded systems. Currently, the complexity of software development has being increased due to the emergence of various requirements and the electronic control devices to ensure the safety and convenience of the driver. The high-performance hardware embedded in the ECU is a big issue for the automobile industry. OEMs, TIERs, tool providers, and the others are aiming at a variety of unit reusability, including software and hardware, based on the plug-and-play architecture concept. It is enhancing the quality attributes (safety, performance, real-time) of various perspectives. Furthermore, international standard process (ISO 26262, A-SPICE) does not provide a direct methodology for dealing with requirements refinement procedures, standard specification methods, and traceability of extracts.
