In order to improve fuel economy, the number of gears in the hydraulic automatic transmission of heavy-duty mining trucks is continuously increasing. Compared with single-transition shifts, double-transition shifts can optimize the structure of multi-speed transmissions, but the difficulty of control will also increase. In this paper, a dynamic model of a 6 + 2 speed automatic transmission and vehicle powertrain system are built based on the Lagrange method, and the dynamic analysis of the two sets of clutches that make up the double-transition shift are carried out. Since a simulation model of the double-transition shift process is built-in MATLAB/Simulink, the shift jerk and clutch energy loss are used as multi-objective, and the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the simulation. Five strategies for the overlapping time of the clutches are proposed, and simulation experiments and Pareto optimal analysis are carried out, respectively. The simulation results show that the non-overlapping of the two sets of clutch inertia phases in the double-transition shift can effectively reduce the shift jerk. The overlapping of the torque phase and the inertia phase of the other clutch set can control the clutch energy loss at a low level due to using less shift time.
