Abstract
Automotive gear boxes are special mechanisms which are created based upon some planetary gears and additionally equipped in control systems. The control system allows for an activation of particular drives. In the present paper, some graph based models of these boxes are considered i.e. contour, bond and mixed graphs. An exemplary automatic gear box is considered. Based upon the introduced models, ratios for some drives have been calculated. Advantages of the proposed method of modeling are: algorithmic approach and simplicity.
