Abstract - Establishing the control system architecture and developing the software of control system normatively, have significant meaning for the product-line engineering of Automated Mechanical Transmission (AMT). To improve the efficiency of development and maintenance, this paper leads a study on the control system architecture for AMT.
First of all, the functional and non-functional requirements are analysed systematically. Based on that, a frame of control system architecture for AMT is put forward for the first time, which consists of two parts: the software architecture and the supporting environment. The first part is a structure with five layers and two bases, which includes data collection and processing layer, communication layer, decision-making and scheduling layer, harmonization layer, driving and control layer, integrated information base, and knowledge base. The supporting environment includes interface between driver and AMT ECU (Electronically
Controlled Unit), display interface, other ECUs, portable vehicle information online monitoring system, shift schedule making platform, experts experience, etc. The implementation detail of the architecture is also given by using SC6350 minibus with AMT as an instance.
The research achievement of this paper not only is applicable to AMT, but also can be used for reference to the other automotive control systems.
