IRJET- Automatic Gear Shifting Mechanism in Two Wheelers Using Electromagnetic Actuator (original) (raw)

Motorbikes are broadly used around the world mostly in countries like India, Thailand, Indonesia, etc. The gear shifting arrangement of the motorbikes is conventionally manual. The main purpose of the project is to automate the gear transmission for the standard motorcycle by using embedded system. As the increase in demand for CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) which are gearless system but, has low fuel efficiency as compared to geared Motorcycle. This system not only increases the fuel efficiency but also eliminate the human intervention in gear system, making driving easy. The manual mechanical gear shifting will remain unchanged in this arrangement as there is an electromagnetic actuator placed with the lever which helps to shift the gear according to the speed. The system gives the option to use manual as well as automatic mode. The system also uses low cost microcontrollers which has a coding to decide the shifting of gear either up or down according to the input speed.
