Artificial Intelligence-Based Automated Gear Shifting for Enhanced Vehicle Performance and Efficiency
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in automotive transmission systems represents a major step toward achieving intelligent and adaptive vehicle control. A thorough analysis of AI-based automated gear shifting systems intended to maximize performance, fuel economy, and driving comfort is presented in this research. Conventional automatic transmissions rely on pre-defined shift maps that often fail to adapt dynamically to changing road, traffic, and driver behavior conditions. AI-enabled gear shifting systems, incorporating machine learning (ML), fuzzy logic, and neural networks, overcome these limitations by learning from real-time data to predict the optimal shift timing. The study analyzes various AI algorithms employed in gear-shift prediction, evaluates their performance against traditional transmission control units (TCUs), and discusses implementation challenges such as data requirements, computational cost, and real-time response. The review concludes that hybrid AI models combining rule-based and data-driven approaches achieve superior adaptability and energy efficiency, paving the way for next-generation intelligent transmission systems in both electric and conventional vehicles.
