Due　to　the　clutch＇s　non-linear　dynamics,　time-delays,　external　disturbance　and　parameter　uncertainty,　the　automated　clutch　is　difficult　to　control　precisely　during　the　launch　process　for　automatic　mechanical　transmission　(AMT)　vehicles.　In　this　paper,　an　enhanced　fuzzy　sliding　mode　controller　(EFSMC)　is　proposed　to　control　the　automated　clutch.　The　sliding　and　global　stability　conditions　are　formulated　and　analyzed　in　terms　of　the　Lyapunov　full　quadratic　form.　The　chattering　phenomenon　is　handled　by　using　a　saturation　function　to　replace　the　pure　sign　function　and　fuzzy　logic　adaptation　system　in　the　control　law.　To　meet　the　real-time　requirement　of　the　automated　clutch,　the　region-wise　linear　technology　is　adopted　to　reduce　the　fuzzy　rules　of　the　EFSMC.　The　simulation　results　have　shown　that　the　proposed　controller　can　achieve　a　higher　performance　with　minimum　reaching　time　and　smooth　control　actions.　In　addition,　our　data　also　show　that　the　controller　is　effective　and　robust　to　the　parametric　variation　and　external　disturbance.
