The disclosure provides a vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle. The vehicle includes: an engine; a transmission configured to transmit power from the engine to drive wheels; a deceleration factor detection device configured to detect a deceleration factor that is present ahead of the vehicle; and an electronic control unit configured to maintain a speed ratio of the transmission as a current speed ratio on condition that the deceleration factor is detected by the deceleration factor detection device, and change the speed ratio stepwise to a lower speed side than the current speed ratio and maintain the changed speed ratio, in response to a deceleration request from a driver.

A method of controlling an engine and a transmission of a vehicle includes: determining, by a controller, whether the engine is restarted after releasing the vehicle's SSC (Start & Stop coasting) or whether the vehicle is accelerating during NCC (Neutral Coasting control), determining an RPM and gear stage of the transmission if it is determined that the engine is restarted after releasing the vehicle's SSC or the vehicle is accelerating during NCC, determining a mild hybrid starter and generator (MHSG) target RPM and an MHSG target RPM gradient of the vehicle, performing, by the controller, MHSG RPM control of the vehicle to follow the MHSG target RPM and the MHSG target RPM gradient, determining whether the MHSG RPM slips compared to the MHSG target RPM, and performing proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control to follow the MHSG target RPM if the MHSG RPM slips compared to the MHSG target RPM.

A motor vehicle has at least two drive motors, at least one of which is an electric motor, a high-voltage accumulator, and an automatic transmission which has at least one fixed gear ratio and at least one power-split gear ratio for transmission ratio adjustment starting from the at least one fixed gear ratio. The motor vehicle includes an electronic control unit having a speed control module which can be activated during a change of transmission ratio. The speed control module is designed in such a way that a setpoint speed is calculated in advance, by which setpoint speed both the speed gradient and also the speed curvature can be limited, the target speed of the at least one drive motor being continuously compared with a maximum allowed speed gradient and with a maximum allowed speed curvature.

An apparatus of controlling a gear shifting of a vehicle, and a method thereof, to improving shift quality by minimizing the jerk generated in a shifting process of the vehicle, includes storage that stores a Gaussian process (GP) model on which machine learning is completed, and a controller that detects a change amount of engine torque and a change amount of an engagement-side clutch torque based on the GP model, and controls the gear shifting of the vehicle according to the change amount of the engine torque and the change amount of the engagement-side clutch torque.

A method of controlling a transmission of a vehicle, includes determining, by a controller, whether a shift prohibition condition for preventing overheating of the transmission of the vehicle in a terrain mode, which is a rough road driving mode of the vehicle, is satisfied; determining, by the controller, whether a shift operation of the transmission corresponding to a busy shift phenomenon of the transmission is detected when the shift prohibition condition is satisfied; and prohibiting, by the controller, shifting of the transmission when the shift operation of the transmission corresponding to the busy shift phenomenon of the transmission is detected.

Various methods and systems are provided for a shift assembly for a vehicle transmission. In one example, a shift assembly for a transmission includes a first barrel cam including a first cam track; a second barrel cam arranged coaxially with the first barrel cam and including a second cam track; a first motor configured to drive the first barrel cam independent of the second barrel cam; and a second motor configured to drive the second barrel cam independent of the first barrel cam.

Disclosed is a configurable seamless shift gearbox (100, 506). Configurable seamless shift gearbox comprises input shaft (102, 508) and output shaft (104, 510); gear arrangement (106) engaged between input and output shafts, configured to drive torque from input to output shaft. Gear arrangement comprises first gear member (202), second gear member (108), third gear member (118), and fourth gear member (110A, 110B) that rotationally arranges third gear member thereon; first clutch (112) configured to variably engage and disengage with fourth gear member to transfer input torque from input shaft to gear arrangement; and second clutch (114) configured to variably engage and disengage with second gear member to transfer input torque from gear arrangement to output shaft, wherein first and second clutch selectively engage and disengage with fourth and second gear member, respectively, at same time to enable variable gear ratios for providing a seamless torque from input to output shaft.

A mobile work machine has a drive unit for driving at least one drive element and/or a working element. The drive unit is hydromechanical drive unit with at least one internal combustion engine and hydraulic energy transmission unit with at least one hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor. In normal operation, the motor shaft of the internal combustion engine rotates at a normal speed (n_0). Conversely, in a limit temperature operation in which a sensed actual operating temperature of the internal combustion engine or another part of the drive unit is higher than or equal to a target limit temperature (T_limit), an electrical control unit and/or electronic control unit controls the internal combustion engine in such a way that the motor shaft of the internal combustion engine rotates at a first speed (n_target) that is higher than the normal speed (n_0) of the motor shaft in normal operation.

An apparatus comprising an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive pixel data of an exterior environment of a vehicle. The processor may be configured to process the pixel data arranged as video frames, perform computer vision operations to detect objects in the video frames, extract characteristics about the objects detected, determine driving conditions in response to an analysis of the characteristics and generate a control signal. The control signal may be configured to perform a gear shift. The driving conditions may be used to predict a future drivetrain configuration of the vehicle. The gear shift may be performed if a comparison of the future drivetrain configuration with a current drivetrain configuration of the vehicle meets a threshold condition. The gear shift may not be performed if the comparison does not meet the threshold condition.

A control system for a vehicle uses one or more inputs of a velocity request, a brake request, a speed request, travel direction indication, engine speed, and vehicle speed to determine a control strategy for a continuously variable transmission. A target engine speed is selected based upon the inputs, and the engine and continuously variable transmission ratio are controlled to achieve the target engine speed while controlling the vehicle according to the inputs. In some embodiments, the control strategy further selects the target engine speed according to accessory system demands, such as a hoist or lift system.
