Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of active damping of driveline oscillations in order to improve driveability and passenger comfort.
Specifically, longitudinal vibrations which occur during transient changes in driver demand may affect driveability in a negative way.A robust and efficient controller is proposed, driving the engine in order to actively damp the driveline oscillations. The methodology
considered is based on the prediction and compensation of the shaft torque at relevant frequencies. Contrary to previous work, it leads to
a controller having only a few tuning parameters, with a clear meaning and can be adjusted directly on the vehicle.
The whole design is described, including robustness analysis ( manalysis), backlash sensitivity, and discretization in a way that is
compatible with the engine controller unit that works at a varying sampling rate. Finally, the results obtained with two different test cars
are shown. They illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach that allows reducing significantly the development time.

1. Introduction
Increasingly intense international competition between
car manufacturers leads to a situation where customerdemands ‘‘top of the line products’’. Several areas are ofimportance, such as performances, costs and driveability(the difference between the vehicle handling desired by the
driver and the real behavior) of vehicle.
The term driveability includes several aspects of the
driver’s perception, which are highly subjective. The focusin this paper is the shuffle problem, which producesunpleasant oscillations of the car and negatively affectsthe passenger comfort. Therefore, it is interesting todevelop a controller that uses the engine as an actuatorto damp out the powertrain oscillations.Most of the existing engine control systems employ
relatively simple strategies for vibration compensation.Often rudimentary, their designs are based on experimentand calibration and lead, however, to small stabilitymargins because of neglected delays. The time needed totune the parameters is normally several days in total.
There is considerable interest in automotive industry to
develop better systems more efficient and adaptable but
still simple to tune. The main goal here is to reduce thedevelopment time.
Reduced oscillations may be obtained by preventing fast
variation of the torque demand (input shaping). Thevehicle will then tend to feel sluggish. The problem withthis solution is that the customers will most likely notaccept this kind of behavior for a modern vehicle.
A second possibility is to actively control the engine
torque with respect to the driveline dynamics. Someapproaches, dealing with active control of the powertrainduring transient have already been reported in theliterature. Robust pole placement ( Richard, Chevrel, &
