Automated Mechanical Transmission Technology and Development Trend

Abstract

Automated Mechanical Transmission achieves automatic shifting by applying electronic control technology in traditional dry clutch and Manual Transmission,not only having the advantages of automatic transmission, but also keeping the performance of the original manual transmission. This paper generally introduces the function and performance characteristics of Automated Mechanical Transmission, and elaborates its system structure, working principle and key technology. The key technology is divided into 4 parts, including Electronic Control System, Clutch Control, Shift Strategy and Design and Optimization of the Actuator. Combining with the related companies' research and development products, the performance of the Automated Mechanical Transmission is further analyzed. At the same time, according to the current research status in the world, putting forward the following research focus and development trend of Automated Mechanical Transmission.Keywords: Automated Mechanical Transmission; Key Technology; Development Trend
