I'm trying to build an automatic gearbox ...

Post

.. control, on a manual gearbox.

What I am most interested in, is how to build a good torque converter simulator.
I'd like to automate the clutch, so in case of stalling, it would activate and when accelerating, it would gradually deactivate etc.

My basic idea is to start with simple clutch slip calculation, but I'm aware that there's more to this than just slip.

Before I start, I'm looking for documents and studies regarding the simulation. Does anyone know of such document? I found a few of them, but nothing very useful for my project.

Thanks!

it might be useful to look at clutching on CVTs (eg magnetic particle), and on semi-automatics

and there's these
