Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of vehicle gear shifting control, and particularly relates to a cylinder brake AMT gear shifting control method, system, device and medium for realizing brake force grading. BACKGROUND

[0002] Heavy trucks are not only on a flat road in the actual transportation process, but often encounter various slope changes. In fact, different slopes have different demands for vehicle braking force. The traditional AMT gear shifting control strategy is usually a single form of gear shifting control method, which cannot meet the different braking force demands of the driver in most downhill working conditions. For example, when the downhill slope is large, the single gear shifting control method cannot respond in time, and the engine speed cannot be quickly adjusted to the required speed range of the cylinder brake, resulting in the vehicle accelerating and sliding under the action of gravity, and the vehicle speed increasing faster and faster, which seriously threatens the safety of the vehicle. On the contrary, when the downhill slope is small, the engine speed request is high, and the high engine speed request will result in excessive braking force and rapid deceleration of the vehicle. On the one hand, it affects the ride comfort, and on the other hand, in order to maintain the stable speed of the vehicle during the downhill process, the driver may need to frequently step on the accelerator pedal to adjust the engine speed and braking force. Such high-frequency operation increases the operation burden of the driver, which not only easily leads to driving fatigue, but also leads to operation errors, and there is a driving safety hazard.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above defects in the prior art, it is necessary to provide a cylinder brake AMT gear shifting control method, system, device and medium for realizing brake force grading. SUMMARY
