System And Method For Controlling Transmission Of A Machine

摘要

A method of operating a machine having an engine and a transmission drivably coupled to the engine is provided. The method includes determining a power usage value of a work cycle of the machine based at least on a plurality of machine parameters and determining an operating cost map based at least on a fuel price and a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) price. The method includes determining a current operating cost based on the operating cost map and a current operating condition that is based on at least one of the machine parameters. The method includes determining a low cost operating condition corresponding to an operating cost less than the current operating cost. The low cost operating condition corresponds to a power of the machine that is greater than or equal to the power usage value. The method includes regulating the transmission to obtain the low cost operating condition.

1. A method of operating a machine having an engine and a transmission drivably coupled to the engine, the method comprising:
determining a plurality of machine parameters; determining a power usage value of a work cycle of the machine based at least on the plurality of machine parameters; receiving a fuel price and a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) price; determining an operating cost map based at least on the fuel price and the DEF price, wherein the operating cost map comprises a relationship between an operating condition of the machine and a corresponding operating cost, wherein the operating condition is based on at least one of the plurality of machine parameters; determining a current operating cost based on the operating cost map and a current operating condition of the machine; determining a low cost operating condition corresponding to an operating cost less than the current operating cost, wherein a power of the machine corresponding to the low cost operating condition is greater than or equal to the power usage value; and regulating the transmission to obtain the low cost operating condition.
