Gear shift analysis How to define the gear shift point In case of manual gear shift, the equation for the vehicle speed would be the following if the clutch was engaged. Consequently, gear position can be defined by calculating gear ratio during driving Definition of the gear shift point Shift up-1: Clutch disengaged point for up-shifting Shift up-2: Clutch engage point after putting in higher gear Shift down-1: Clutch disengaged point for down-shifting or neutral Factorial analysis and Frequency distribution Calculate the vehicle speed in each gear position (both up-shift and down-shift), then generate various frequency distribution by each vehicle category and analyze the factors that effect shift operation. Vehicle speed frequency distribution （0 ≤ V ≤ 100 km/h，1km/h step） Vehicle acceleration frequency distribution （-10 ≤ a ≤ 10 km/h/s, 1km/h/s step） Engine speed frequency distribution （600 ≤ r ≤ 6000 rpm, 100rpm step） Standardized engine speed frequency distribution （0 ≤ r ≤ 100 %, 10 % step） Speed frequency distribution at shift up-1 Speed frequency distribution at shift up-1 Speed frequency distribution at shift up-1 Speed frequency distribution at shift up-1 Acceleration frequency distribution at shift up-1 Acceleration frequency distribution at shift up-1 Acceleration frequency distribution at shift up-1 Acceleration frequency distribution at shift up-1 Multiple regression analysis Shift up equation for PC Shift up equation for LDCV Gearshift equation G(x) : Gear position V : Vehicle Speed @shift up-1 (km/h) A : Acceleration @shift-up-1(km/h/s) The boundary condition Clutch off speed Additional condition Avoid to use 1st gear except take-off phase Avoid the downshift event to get higher deceleration during deceleration phase Avoid shift up at the top of hill (when shift to deceleration phase) Keep same gear position at least 2 s
