  "textContent": "A clutch torque estimation and control method for vehicle hybrid powertrain includes, in response to detecting a mode transition of the hybrid powertrain that involves a state change of a disconnect clutch arranged between two torque generating systems, initializing a Kalman filter based on a state space model for dynamics of the disconnect clutch, utilizing the Kalman filter to predict estimated speeds and torques for the state change of the disconnect clutch, determining a set of constraints for the state change of the disconnect clutch based on a sign of a slip speed across the disconnect clutch, applying the set of constraints to the predicted estimated speeds and torques to obtain final estimated speeds and torques for the state change of the disconnect clutch, and controlling the disconnect clutch based on the final estimated speeds and torques to improve the mode transition of the hybrid powertrain.",
