Abstract: This paper proposed control strategies for the modern mechatronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) System using three different techniques; The Ziegler-Nichols, Linear Quadratic and Pole-Placement methods. The results of the system responses of the designed control schemes were successfully simulated using MATLAB. Comparing the results showed that controller implemented using the Pole-Placement method was the best for the system which gave a rise time of 335milliseconds, paek time of 400milliseconds, settling time of 290 milliseconds and an overshoot of 0.72 percent.
Keywords: Controller, Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) System, Ziegler-Nichols Method, Pole-Placement method, Linear Quadratic Regulator method.
