CONTROLLER SYNTHESIS FOR A VEHICLE DRIVE WITH SMOOTH HYDROSTATIC GEARBOX

REGLERSYNTHESE FUER EINEN FAHRZEUGANTRIEB MIT STUFENLOS WIRKENDEM HYDROSTATISCHEN LASTSCHALTGETRIEBE

The aim of this work was to design an engine/gearbox control, which would ensure pleasant driving behaviour for the driver and also a minimum fuel consumption characteristic for the engine. This aim was achieved within the limits set by the dynamic properties of the engine and this was proved on an actual vehicle with a smooth hydrostatic gearbox. The necessary hardware for this, such as a microcomputer and throttle valve setting drive (speed control, anti-slipping control) is already provided nowadays in modern cars of higher price. It was interesting to examine to what extent such concepts can be integrated in developed engine/gearbox controls and how optimum operation can be achieved for vehicles with other stepless forms of gearboxes and drive units. The control concept developed appears to be applicable to other drives.
