Automation

Transmission and Driveline Electronic Control

  • Increased demands for improved function and performance through software and “by-wire” systems
  • Ricardo approach is to "co-optimise" the mechanical system and its control
  • Need to adopt adequate “fail-safe” and “limp home” strategies
  • Reliability with Low cost

Capabilities

  • Benchmarking of performance for robust target setting for current and future products
  • Development of be-spoke control systems for Transmissions and Drivelines, both for prototype and to niche volume production
  • Development of new driver interfaces (Haptics)
  • Dynamic system modelling (inc plant modelling for control)
  • Experience in delivering production level code and niche volume supply capability

Delivered Benefits

  • World leading control strategies, especially with DCT and AMT software to production level
  • Integrated engineering approach to achieve optimum combined mechanical and electronic control performance
  • Many successful advanced control technologies demonstrated which are now part of production programmes
