I. Introduction
This course elaborates about how modern vehicles work and what are the advance
technology applied to it in order to increase its efficiency, performance, comfort, and most
of all safety. In this particular report, the students were tasked to modify a sample model
of an automatic transmission (A/T) car within a constrain of its gear shift map. The model
itself and the task are performed in Matlab’s Simulink feature. It was performed to find out
the difference of the modified shift map with the initial form of it.
II. Method
This assignment, as mentioned before, was performed in Matlab-Simulink
software. The model could be found in “Examples” tab. After opening it, a figure as the
one below would appear. The modification will be focused on the ShiftLogic. There we
can modify both the gear upshift and downshift map.
After opening the ShiftLogic Box, another diagram would appear as shown below.
Figure 2 ShiftLogic
To access the table that can be used to modify the gear shift map, the user has to
open the Simulink function below the diagram. Then another diagram would appear as
shown.
Next, the user just has to click either the InterpUp or InterpDown and another
window would appear. In this window, the user then clicks Edit table and breakpoints and
choose either InterpUp or InterpDown to be edited.
III. Data
In this report, the data of the original sample and the modified one will be
compared. The table shown below shows the correlation between throttle percentage and
the gear stage. First, below are the data of the original gear shift alongside the maps of both
upshift and downshift.
IV. Result
The user can plot the output graph of the whole vehicle system by double-clicking
the PlotResults on the right-end of the system model. By doing so, another window that
contain the plotted data would appear as shown below.
