Optimal Gear Indication for Green Environment

A method for determining the optimal gear, in terms of fuel consumption, of a vehicle drive is proposed. This method for efficient gear indication uses the speed and load of a vehicle for optimizing the fuel consumption of the engine and henceforth reducing air pollution and saving precious fossil fuels. The optimum gear is determined by rules of fuzzy logic, mechanics and geometry. The demonstration of gear shifting is presented with tools of MATLAB Fuzzy Inference System. The further implementation and usage of this technology in traffic control and global positioning system management is presented. This system needs a special type of sensing device to determine the actual load on a vehicle and a sensor is needed to record the speed instantaneously. A sensor is attached to the wheels of the vehicle to predict the quality of road (uniform or non-uniform) and according to the intensity of the vibration and other factors, the road quality is predicted. This is very beneficial for the new learner who does not know about optimal gear transmission. This system will thereby also increase the efficiency and lifespan of the vehicle's engine.
