If earlier the driver had to switch the transfer itself, then in our time there are automated transmissions that independently include one or other speed, determining the most optimal ones based on certain algorithms. The adaptive gearbox is currently an extreme step of the evolution of automatic transmission. About this further in the article.

Adaptive automatic transmission, what can do why it is needed

The automatic transmission implies automatic gear shift that does not require the driver's participation in this process. In other words, if, in the presence of a manual box, the bus owner should work with a lever that switches high-speed modes, and squeeze the adhesion to switch gear, then in the case of an automatic box, the car independently chooses speed.

Adaptive automatic box is a relatively new type of checkpoint. The adaptive box is adjusted both under the speed of driving and under the individual features of the style of driving every person. This is done using special electronics. These devices read how quickly the driver accelerates, is it prone to forcing and in which rhythm is used to ride.

After analyzing, adaptive gearboxes not only themselves begin to switch transfers, but also do it in mode, as a suitable driver.

Features of adaptive automatic transmission

• Such a box is able to take into account the speed with which the car owner accelerates, and the speed with which the car owner is most often moving. So, the speed switching is made based on these features.
• If acceleration occurs with the highest acceleration ratio, speeds are switched according to sports style.
• Electronics calculates the mode of movement to the motorist, in which the driver "comes" the longest. In such a situation, speed switches to increased for more economical ride.
• With a sharp braking, the gearbox switches to a reduced speed and uses the capabilities of T.N. sports braking.
• Among other things, the electronics controls the degree of wear of the ACP elements.

How quickly does an adaptive box electronics analysis

Electronics, interconnected with an adaptive gearbox, works quickly and very accurately. It takes up to a few dozen minutes. Of course, the vehicle at this time should not stand still, and should be in motion.

Pros and cons of adaptive automatic transmission

The main advantages of the adaptive checkpoint include such moments:

1. Adaptive box creates the driver more comfortable driving conditions by car.
2. Due to the selection of modes and speeds, fuel consumption is reduced.
3. Speeds are switched in automatic mode by a specific algorithm - depending on the state of the roads, the velocity of the car, and so on.

Minus Adaptive PPC - In some cases, it incorrectly determines the mode that delivers the driver some inconveniences with bad roads when different maneuvers are needed. The disadvantages can also be attributed to the fact that the adaptive gearbox itself decides when measuring measurements. So, the characteristics analysis can sometimes be engaged in the stamp. After leaving the traffic jam, the car owner will certainly notice that the speed switching mode has changed in the direction of low. To restore the usual mode, you will need time, as well as a new ride analysis.

Device and care for adaptive box

Of course, the exact adaptive gearbox device depends on the model and the brand of the vehicle on which it is installed. To withstand competition, different designers add their "chips" to this mechanism.

But, you can consider what has any adaptive gearbox. This is what the machine is different from the mechanics. It always has a hydrotransformer consisting of blades that are attached to three wheels. In addition, this mechanism has a number of gear mechanical gears, most often planetary. However, the real heart of such a box is its electronics. To read the style of ride in the mechanism was mounted on the brain of the side computer.

As for any gearbox, the adaptive box does not have to be diligently and long to care for a long time. Do not forget that, in principle, this is one of the variations of the machine. All that is required from you is to pour a transmission fluid in a timely manner that matches the type of your box. And it is better to do so in advance, to avoid problems with the mechanism.

It is worth noting that the adaptive automatic transmission has another drawback - the lack of opportunities for proper maintenance of such a box. In Russia, especially in small cities of the country, the search capabilities, acquisition and replacement of parts are far from wide. As a result, there may be much time and money for repairs (due to the order of the details).

Possible modes of work of adaptive automatic transmission

As mentioned above, this type of box makes a selection of transmission, taking into account the driver's driving manner. She oversees driving a car in the most popular modes.

winter mode

The features of this mode make it possible to confidently drive on ice-covered road. The vehicle is actually guaranteed on slippery coating. In this mode, there is also an emergency braking carried out by a motor and not allowing the car to significantly increase the braking path on the slippery road.

Winter mode does not have a clear speed priority. Only the start is actually always made with a third or second transfer.

sports regime

Sports regimen controls and provides a sporty ride style. It makes it possible to quickly accelerate and quickly slow down. Motor in sports mode functions at full capacity, which increases the coefficient of fuel consumption, although it is well affected by the car dynamics.

economical mode

When switching to this mode, the system will function in the direction of reducing the amount of fuel consumed. The vehicle does not force and go very smoothly. In economical mode, reduced transfers are priority.
