Pros And Cons Of Semi-Automatic Transmission

Better Essays

DISCUSSION In past years, transmission includes the right-angle drives and other gearing in windmills, horse-powered devices and steam engines that supports pumping, milling and hoisting. This has been modified in most modern gearboxes that are being used to increase the rotation while reducing the speeding like in a motor crank which is an arm attached at the right angles to the rotating tube. It is used to convert circular motion. The decrease in speed produces a mechanical advantage, increasing rotation or force. Let us discuss one of the common vehicle being used by common people before this study discuss the motor vehicles with different transmission. The most basic one that uses human-powered turn or move is of course the bicycle. A …show more content…

Mostly drivers wonder how a semi-automatic vehicle can be operated. This is actually a hybrid form of transmission. When it is said to be hybrid, it is a mixture of manual and automatic transmission where an integrated control system handles manipulation of the clutch automatically, but the driver can still and could take manual control of gear selection. Based on the research made, semi-automatic transmission is sometimes called a "clutch less manual", or "automated manual" transmission. Mostly of this transmission, the driver is allowed to fully delegate gear shifting choice to the control system which acts as like it was regular automatic transmission. Semi-Automatic Transmission or SAT does not change gears automatically, but rather helps manual gear changes by giving out the need to press a clutch pedal at the same time as changing gears. It uses electronic sensors, pneumatics, processors and actuators to shift gear on input from the driver or by a computer. SAT is designed to provide a better driving experience through fast overtaking vehicles on highways. Some motorcycles also use a system with a typical gear change but without the need for manual clutch operation. Semi-automatic transmissions have also made their way into the truck and bus market in the early
