Summary: | Because of its significant advantages over other transmissions, including its simple
construction, smooth operation, easy drivability, low cost, easy maintenance, the rubber
V-belt continuously variable transmission (CVT) has been widely used in low-power
vehicles such as snowmobiles and motorcycles. The works on control strategy for
electro-mechanical have been published including in journal, conference as well
workshop proceedings, standard, books and others. The current paper reviews the basic
concepts of operating system CVTs, system of electro-mechanical rubber belt CVT, and
related works. Challenges for future research on modeling and control strategy for
electro-mechanical CVT are also discussed.
