Report on Vehicle Transmission Simula on Model

Introduc on
The Vehicle Transmission Simula on GUI is designed to simulate
the behavior of a vehicle's transmission system based on user-
defined inputs. The simula on takes into account various
factors such as engine torque, engine speed, vehicle mass, gear
ra os, and environmental resis ve forces to calculate the
vehicle's speed, accelera on, and gear selec on over me. This
report details the model equa ons used in the simula on and
their significance.

Inputs
The user inputs required for the simula on are:
1. Number of gears.
2. Engine torque (Nm).
3. Engine speed (RPM).
4. Ini al vehicle speed (m/s).
5. Time step (s).
6. Total simula on me (s).
7. Vehicle mass (kg).
8. Gear ra os.
Constants
The following constants are used in the simula on:
1. Wheel radius (\(r_w\)): 0.3 meters.
2. Air density (\(\rho\)): 1.225 kg/m³.
3. Drag coefficient (\(C_d\)): 0.3.
4. Frontal area (\(A_f\)): 2.2 m².
5. Rolling resistance coefficient: 0.015.

Model Equa ons

1. Conversion of Engine Speed from RPM to Rad/s:


\[ \omega_e = \text{engine\_speed} \ mes \frac{2\pi}{60} \]
where \( \omega_e \) is the engine speed in radians per
second.

2. Gear Output Speed and Torque:


\[ \omega_g = \frac{\omega_e}{\text{gear\_ra o}} \]
\[ T_g = \text{engine\_torque} \ mes \text{gear\_ra o} \]
where \( \omega_g \) is the gear output speed in rad/s and \(
T_g \) is the gear output torque in Nm.
3. Aerodynamic Drag Force:
\[ F_d = 0.5 \ mes \rho \ mes C_d \ mes A_f \ mes v^2 \]
where \( F_d \) is the aerodynamic drag force in Newtons and
\( v \) is the vehicle speed in m/s.

4. Rolling Resistance Force:


\[ F_r = \text{rolling\_resistance\_coefficient} \ mes m \ mes g
\]
where \( F_r \) is the rolling resistance force in Newtons, \( m
\) is the vehicle mass in kg, and \( g \) is the gravita onal
accelera on (9.81 m/s²).

5. Trac ve Force:
\[ F_t = \frac{T_g}{r_w} - (F_d + F_r) \]
where \( F_t \) is the trac ve force in Newtons.

6. Accelera on:
\[ a = \frac{F_t}{m} \]
where \( a \) is the accelera on in m/s².
7. Vehicle Speed Update:
\[ v_{\text{new}} = v_{\text{old}} + a \ mes \Delta t \]
where \( v_{\text{new}} \) is the updated vehicle speed, \(
v_{\text{old}} \) is the previous vehicle speed, and \( \Delta t \)
is the me step.

8. Wheel Speed:
\[ \omega_w = \frac{v}{r_w} \]
where \( \omega_w \) is the wheel speed in rad/s.

9. Engine Speed Update:


\[ \omega_e = \omega_w \ mes \text{gear\_ra o} \ mes
\frac{60}{2\pi} \]
where the engine speed is converted back to RPM for display
purposes.
Gear Shi ing Logic
The simula on includes logic to shi gears based on the vehicle
speed:
- Shi s up when the vehicle speed exceeds certain thresholds
(e.g., 15 m/s, 30 m/s, etc.).
- Shi s down when the vehicle speed drops below certain
thresholds (e.g., 10 m/s, 25 m/s, etc.).
Outputs
The simula on provides the following outputs:
1. Final vehicle speed (m/s).
2. Final gear.
3. Vehicle speed over me (plot).
4. Gear selec on over me (plot).
5. Vehicle accelera on over me (plot).
6. Summary of the ini al condi ons and gear ra os.

Conclusion
This vehicle transmission simula on uses a combina on of
physics-based equa ons and control logic to model the
dynamics of a vehicle's transmission system. By adjus ng
parameters such as engine torque, engine speed, and gear
ra os, users can observe how these factors influence vehicle
performance. The model provides insights into the vehicle's
behavior under different condi ons, aiding in the understanding
and design of transmission systems.
