Summary:

Due to the multitude of external design constraints, such asincreasing fuel economy standards, and the increasing number ofglobal vehicle programs, developers of automotive transmissioncontrols have had to cope with increasing levels of systemcomplexity while at the same time being forced by the marketplaceto improve system quality, reduce development costs, and improvetime to market.General Motors Powertrain (GMPT) chose to meet these challengesthrough General Motors Company's Road-to-Lab-to-Math (RLM)strategy, particularly the Math-based method of a virtual vehiclesimulation environment called System Simulation. The use of SystemSimulation to develop transmission control algorithms has enabledGMPT to improve product quality and reduce development times andcosts associated with the dependence on physical prototypes.Additionally, System Simulation has facilitated the reuse of GMPTcontrols development assets, improving overall controls developmentefficiency.The Mathworks Simulink® tool forms the basis for the GMPTTransmission System Simulation environment, or virtual vehicle.This paper describes this virtual vehicle environment, its keycomponents, and its application to transmission algorithmdevelopment
