ITI-Hoerbiger-HiL Shifting Simulator

Recipient of the SAE award for our developments in the field of power transmission, we continue with innovative partners to develop new tools and methods to further revolutionise the development of driveline systems and their control. In particular the field of real-time simulation / Hardware-in-the-Loop has made significant advances.

In collaboration with Hoerbiger Antriebstechnik GmbH ITI have developed a gear shift simulator to enable shift comfort to be fully evaluated in the development stage of the design process. The system incorporates a detailed model for the gear shift linkage, including inner and outer shift mechanisms connected the complete driveline and vehicle. By means of an electronically controlled gearstick the shifting behaviour can be immediately experienced by the engineer allowing an optimised design to be achieved prior to assembling a physical prototype.

With this visionary online design tool the final model can be easily adapted to evaluate other drivelines, vehicles or shift mechanisms.

The detailed presentation  of the ITI-Hoerbiger-Shifting Simulator is available as presented at the CTI Symposium in Berlin. For more information on this lecture please use our contact form.
