INTRODUCTION
An automatic transmission allows a vehicle to change gear ratios from a gearbox without requiring its driver to use a shift lever or a clutch. Its origins date to 1894, when the modern automatic transmission was introduced by Frenchmen Louis-Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor. Ten years later, the concept was improved by the Sturtevant brothers in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Sturtevant brothers developed the two-forward-speed automatic transmission, but metal technology at the time was primitive and the gearbox was prone to failure due to the stress of changing gear ratios.
Inventor Sturtevant designed the 1904 Automatic Tourer that featured an internal combustion engine, a 3-speed semi-automatic gearbox, automatic lubrication and vacuum brakes.
The Sturtevant automatic transmission serves as the blueprint for all automatic cars and trucks on today's roads. The clutch-less automatic car utilizes a gearbox that automatically changes the gear ratio, which allows the driver to simply select one gear to move or park the vehicle.
Automaker Reo developed the Self-Shifter in 1934 that basically used two transmissions: one used at ordinary speeds and the second when low gear was required to slow the vehicle.
In 1940, General Motors' Oldsmobile marketed a reliable version, the Hydra-Matic, which combined a fluid coupling with three planetary gearsets that were hydraulically controlled.
The Hydra-Matic was soon offered in Cadillacs and Pontiacs, but World War II interrupted mass production for all civilian models and was converted to military uses.
Buick followed with its Dynaflow in 1948; Packard offered the Ultramatic in 1949; and Chevrolet debuted the Powerglide in 1950.
German and Japanese automakers are leading the way today with new automatic technology, with BMW developing the first six-speed automatic in 2002; Mercedes-Benz a seven-speed 7G-Tronic in 2003; and Toyota's eight-speed found in the 2007 Lexus LS 460.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
A method of controlling a gear change of an automobile, said automobile comprising an internal combustion engine.
An automatic transmission connected to an output rotation shaft of said engine so as to transmit the rotational output of said engine to drive wheels of said automobile through any selected one of a plurality of gear ratios.
A load device selectively connectable to said output rotation shaft of said engine via selectively-connecting means for generating a gear change control signal for selecting one of said gear ratios of said automatic transmission in accordance with one of operational conditions of said automobile and said engine said method comprising the steps of controlling said selectively-connecting means when said gear change signal-generating means generates the control signal for shifting up the gear in said automatic transmission, in such a manner that said selectively-connecting means connects said load device to said output rotation shaft of said engine.
Battery is giving the microcontroller unit. The proximity sensor is used to detect the wheel speed and this signal is given to the microcontroller unit. The 1st gear is done by manually press the button and the succeeding gears all are down automatically by the microcontroller unit.
The two electro-magnetic coils are fixed to the gear shaft of the two ends. One is used to shift the gear in upward direction. Another one is used to shift the gear in downward direction. These two coil is operated depends upon the speed of the vehicle this is automatically done with the help of microcontroller unit c programming language.

The key to understanding the role of permanent magnet’s gear shifting lies in the general issue of biasing. Consider the simplest magnetic as shown in the figure, but omit the lower electromagnet. By omitting the finite permeability of the iron, the current in the coil controls the flux density.
