Modeling of an Automotive Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) System for Simulation of Performance and Prognostics

摘要

Modeling of AMT gearshift and clutch controls has attracted considerable attention in the past decade for optimizing the algorithms and simulation of control strategy and shift calibration, for reducing development time and costs involved in physical validation. Modeling of AMT system for simulation of gearbox and clutch performance is done using MATLAB/Simulink software. Time to market and investment for development can be greatly reduced through the use of a simulation-based design. A complete vehicle system simulation can allow multiple iterations without need for physical validation of the design concepts, prior to manufacturing test samples. This simulation methodology enables optimisation of interface components and sub-systems. Furthermore, design concepts can be tested using software model without the need of prototype parts, test vehicle, test track and test rig or test track.
