A control system for a mechanical vehicle gear box

摘要

Gearbox control system has first device (1) collecting data relating to movement of vehicle, and second detector (2) collecting data relating to operation of engine. Third detector (3) collects data relating to status of gearbox control (4), and further device collects data relating to driving of vehicle by driver. Clutch mechanism is linked to clutch pedal, allowing driver to vary level of clutch engagement. An analysis device (10) responds to these various information inputs in order to determine the need to change gear, and the new gear ratio required. The device then also delivers the commands in order to effect the required gear change.
