Development of automotive hydraulics at Toyota

Abstract

The main characteristics of the hydraulics and pneumatics is that they are quite suited for the automobile. Electrohydraulic control technology has produced intelligent control and active safety of the automobile.
In recent years, various automotive hydraulic systems have been widely used. For example, for the power train, the electronic control automatic transmission, the device of driving systems of the engine cooling fan can be mentioned. The electronic control system for the automatic transmission is detailed. For the chassis, the 4-wheel power steering, the 4-wheel antilock brake, the semi active suspension, active suspension can be named. Full explanation is given to the suspension control.
Basic study of the automotive hydraulic system is advancing in the fields of system simulation and control, analysis of fluid flow, and tribology.
