Adaptive automatic transmission
Adaptive automatic transmission, also called intelligent transmission, is an improved version of the traditional automatic transmission. It has the ability to adapt to individual driving style, preferences and driving conditions.
How does an adaptive automatic transmission work:
The adaptive transmission uses an electronic control unit (ECU) to collect and process data about various aspects of driving, including:
* Pressing force of the gas pedal
* Gas pedal speed
* Steering angle
* Vehicle speed
The ECU uses this data to create a driving profile and adjust gear changes according to this profile.
Advantages of an adaptive automatic transmission:
* Optimized Shifting: The transmission adapts to your individual driving style for smoother, more efficient shifting.
* Improved Fuel Economy: The adaptive transmission can determine the ideal gear shift timing to save fuel.
* Better Performance: It can adapt to different driving conditions, providing optimal shift points for acceleration or traction.
* Personalized settings: Drivers can customize the transmission’s behavior to suit their preferences, such as sport or economy mode.
*Longer service life: Optimized gear shifting helps extend transmission life.
Features of adaptive automatic transmissions:
*Multi-speed transmissions: Typically have 6 to 10 speeds.
* Electronic control unit: Used to process data and set shift points.
* Sensors and solenoids: Provide precise and smooth gear shifting.
* Driving Modes: Often offer multiple driving modes such as sport, comfort and economy.
Examples of cars with adaptive automatic transmissions:
*Mercedes-Benz
* BMW
* Audi
*Ford
*Toyota
