Abstract

Through researches on fuel characteristics of the engine, a new method for establishing dynamic 3-parameter-controlled optimal fuel-economy shifting schedule was presented. At the same time, by analysis of influences of mass on shifting schedule, a variable-structure-controlled shift system was designed. Based on the software of Matlab/Simulink, the variable-structure-controlled shift system was simulated. Simulation results show this system can improve the fuel economy of vehicle obviously.
