THE METHOD OF OPTIMIZING THE GEAR RATIOS OF THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR ACCORDING TO THE CONDITION OF STABILITY IN TRACTION MODE
In this article, an algorithm and a technique for optimizing the transmission ratios of a car are proposed. The classification of the stability of the car is considered. It is determined that the optimization is based on obtaining theoretical values of vehicle accelerations not exceeding the permissible ones. An online calculator has been developed to automate calculations. This technique will be useful both in scientific research and in practical activities, for example, when replacing a car engine with a new one that differs from the standard one. As a result, the conclusion is made that the proposed methodology for calculating and optimizing the transmission ratios of a car is applicable only for rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive cars.
