Abstract

A system and process for providing different levels of jerk in response to speed pedal displacement in a machine including a speed pedal having a range of displacement, a continuously variable transmission, a mechanism for measuring output speed of the continuously variable transmission, and an electronic controller for generating a jerk command signal that is in a one-to-one correspondence with the displacement of the speed pedal and shaping the jerk command signal into a velocity profile command that is applied to the continuously variable transmission and then comparing the output speed of the continuously variable transmission with the velocity profile command for controlling the continuously variable transmission.
