A vehicle propulsion system is considered which consists of an engine, hydrostatic transmission, and automatic controller. Control requirements are established for optimum or near optimum operation based on a steady-state performance index. Various controller classes are identified and a systematic method for synthesis of the “best” controller is outlined. A unique fluidic controller is discussed which adjusts the transmission ratio to maintain a specified engine speed-engine load relationship which maximizes overall system efficiency for a wide range of external load conditions.
