It is the process of the presence of a system in a vehicle that automatically changes its speed and gear without the complete individual control of the driver. These comes under automation because of the presence of a gearbox that teds to shift gears basis the presence of sensors in the car and the movements of the traffic.
Categories:
Vehicles when it comes to its controls
are divided into categories of
-
Automatic transmission
-
Manual transmission
The
manual transmission requires the full control of the driver in controlling the
vehicle.
The major difference between
them-
The
major difference between manual transmissions and Powershift
and automatic transmission are
–
·
The absence of the ‘clutch
Pedal’.
·
The absence of ‘gear shift’.
Automatic transmission- as a
concept
This concept works under the principle concept of using the internal oil pressure to shift gears as per the built-in sensors of the vehicle without the intervention of the driver.
The
engine connects to the transmission at a place called bell housing. This bell
housing contains a torque converter for all automatic vehicles instead of a
clutch on manual vehicles. The torque converter connects the engine to the
transmission to drive a wheel. The transmission contains epicyclic gearsets
that are in charge of providing different gear ratios. To get a good
understanding of how the whole automation system works, let's have a look at
torque converters and planetary gearsets.
Scope in India:
The revolution of Powershift
and automatic transmission is a huge hit with
the Indian population. India with its terrible traffic, worsening road
congestion in cities and the increase in fuel efficiency are pushing driving to
opt for gearless automatic cars.
The
improvement in technology has made the Powershift
and automatic transmission common in most of
the cars nowadays. Although it took India some time to make a mark in this
space, it is swiftly making up for the lost time by matching its stride with
the global leaders of automation.
