The present thesis project was done in collaboration with Magneti Marelli’s powertrain department located in Veneria Reale (Italy, Turin). Magneti Mareli is an Italian developer and manufacturer of high-tech components for the automotive industry. Initially it was a producer of magnetos for both the automotive and aviation industries, currently it deals with intelligent systems for active and passive vehicle safety, including design of vehicle control systems. In this thesis an electro-hydraulic actuation model was developed for real-time hardware In The Loop (HIL) applications to support model-based development of a WDCT controller which must be able to control the filling phase of the clutch actuators.
