The control of the vehicle transmission system is of great significance to driving comfort.In order to design a controller for smooth shifting and comfortable driving, a dynamic model of dual-clutch transmission is established in this paper.An optimal control strategy for clutch oil pressure based on linear quadratics is proposed, which is used to
