NEW SHIFT IN ON-BOARD COMPUTERS

Electronically-controlled automatic transmissions are described that have replaced video arcade instrument panels in many Japanese cars. The automatic transmission's control system consists of an electronic assembly and a number of transducers which supply electrical signals for an electronic circuit. That circuit mixes these signals and performs a calculation in response to a predetermined algorithm, which commands two valves that provide the interface between the electronic control system and the hydraulic/mechanical system of the transmission. The electronic circuit is organized around a microprocessor.
