Abstract: To improve the switching quality of multi-mode hybrid electric vehicle(HEV), an optimization control strategy for multi-mode switching quality based on torque distribution is proposed. A dynamic model of the HEV multi-mode powertrain system is established, taking into account the influence of clutch friction work, along with evaluation indices for switching quality. The switching conditions of multi-mode driving are analyzed, and target torque profiles for each driving mode and transition process are theoretically calculated. A hierarchical fuzzy control strategy for clutch hydraulic pressure is designed based on the target torque during switching. The upper-level fuzzy algorithm determines the desired clutch pressure, while the lower-level fuzzy PID controller tracks the actual pressure. A dynamic motor torque compensation strategy is developed based on the target torque of each driving mode to compensate for clutch friction work and engine torque lag. A multi-objective fuzzy optimization method is employed to determine the optimal clutch hydraulic pressure to enhance switching quality. Four standard driving cycles are selected for simulation. Results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy ensures both power performance and driving smoothness, effectively suppresses jerk, reduces clutch friction, and improves the overall quality of driving mode switching.
