CVT ratio control strategy optimization

This paper discusses fuel consumption and driveline efficiency in the automotive industry. Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) can cover a wide range of ratios. This makes it possible to operate a combustion engine in more efficient working points than stepped transmissions. To maximize fuel e...

Description
Summary:This paper discusses fuel consumption and driveline efficiency in the automotive industry. Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) can cover a wide range of ratios. This makes it possible to operate a combustion engine in more efficient working points than stepped transmissions. To maximize fuel economy, the optimal operation line (OOL) should be accurately tracked. Optimal operation line tracking is the most the economical way to operate the driveline.
