  • Patent number: 10677298
    Abstract: Provided is a method of learning a touch point of a dual clutch transmission (DCT), and more particularly, to a DCT touch point learning method in which a touch point is learned based on a difference between a virtual input shaft speed and a clutch non-drive shaft input speed using a virtual input shaft reference speed calculated based on the speed of a traveling vehicle. In a traveling situation in which the touch point cannot be learned using the non-drive shaft according to the related art because the input shaft behavior of the non-drive shaft is rotationally synchronized with the input shaft behavior of the drive shaft by drag characteristics of the DCT, a virtual input shaft speed may be calculated, and the touch point of the clutch may be learned using the virtual input shaft speed.
