Abstract:
A system and method of controlling the operation of a transmission using fuel consumption data. The system and method includes controlling the operation of a vehicle transmission which is operatively connected to an engine having operating characteristics and operatively connected to a transmission control module having access to a memory. Fuel consumption data for an engine is converted to engine efficiency loss data representative of the engine operating. A set of equations is determined to provide a pattern representative of the operating characteristics the engine. A transmission controller using the pattern determines a prospective operating condition of the transmission to provide fuel efficient operation of the engine.

Claim (Index 10):
A transmission system configured to drive a drive assembly of a vehicle in response to an engine output shaft of an engine operatively connected to an engine control module, the engine control module configured to respond to a throttle command and to derive an engine control command from the throttle command, the transmission system comprising:\n a transmission including an input configured to be coupled to the engine output shaft and an output configured to drive the drive assembly; a memory configured to store one or more engine patterns, wherein each of the one or more stored engine patterns represents the operating characteristics of the engine and is based on a curve fitting of engine efficiency loss data and engine torque data; and a transmission control module operatively coupled to: i) the engine control module; ii) to the transmission; and iii) to the memory, the transmission control module configured to execute stored program instructions to:\n select a stored engine map from the memory based on a transmitted engine control command received from the engine control module, wherein the stored engine map represents engine efficiency loss data of the engine; \n determine a change to an operating condition of the transmission based on the selected stored engine map; and \n modify the operating condition of the transmission using the determined change based on the selected stored engine map to an updated operating condition of the transmission.
