Summary:

The AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) has attracted increasing interest of automotive researches, because it has some advantages of both MT (Manual Transmission) and AT (Automatic Transmission), such as low cost, high efficiency, easy to use and good comfort. The hill-start assistance is an important feature of AMT. The vehicle will move backward, start with jerk, or cause engine stalling if failed on the slope road. For manual transmission, hill-start depends on the driver's skills to coordinate with the brake, clutch and throttle pedal to achieve a smooth start. However, with the AMT, clutch pedal is removed and therefore, driver can't perceive the clutch position, making it difficult to hill-start with AMT without hill-start control strategy.This paper discussed about the hill start control strategy and its functioning. Paper also discussed about the low cost solution developed for buses and its comparison with Hill start assistance feature used in fully automatic transmission buses
