Abstract
Fuel consumption of the engine becomes sufficiently economical when it runs under conditions of low speed and high torque rather than of high speed and low torque. Therefore, if an automobile engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is operated by such consolidated control, minimum fuel consumption can be achieved while satisfying the driver's demand for fixed vehicle speed. The improved fuel economy of this consolidated control depends on several factors such as specifications of the automobile, the algorithm of the controllers, the driving mode of the automobile and the control actuators. In this report, the consolidated control algorithm was investigated theoretically as well as by means of simulation studies. As a consequence, an algorithm which is applicable to acceleration was obtained.
