METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING GEAR OF TWO-SPEED GEARBOX
A method and a system for controlling a gear of the two-speed gearbox and a vehicle is provided. The method for controlling a gear of a two-speed gearbox includes: determining a first target gear of the gearbox reflecting a current driving demand of a user according to a current vehicle-speed; and performing a gear intervention control of the gearbox based on at least one of the following aspects: position information of a drive gear-lever, a rotation-speed of a drive motor of a vehicle, and gear fault information of the gearbox, to shift the first target gear of the gearbox to a second target gear of the gearbox that matches with real-time operation conditions of the vehicle.
Shift control system for automatic transmission
A shift control system for an automatic transmission is provided, which is mounted on a vehicle configured to be started by an ignition switch being turned on, where an automatic transmission mode or a manual transmission mode is selectively set. The system includes a shift switch through which a manual transmission command for arbitrarily changing a gear stage of the automatic transmission can be inputted in the manual transmission mode, and a controller. The manual transmission mode includes a first manual mode in which the gear stage is changed and maintained by inputting the manual transmission command using the shift switch, and a second manual mode in which the automatic transmission mode is resumed by satisfying a resuming condition after the gear stage is changed. When the ignition switch is turned on, the controller selects in advance the second mode to be set to the automatic transmission.

Hybrid vehicle transmission shift control for electric machine thermal management
A system and method for controlling a hybrid vehicle having an engine, a traction motor, and an automatic step-ratio transmission having a plurality of selectable discrete gear ratios, a torque converter, and sharing a common cooling fluid or oil with the traction motor, include a controller configured to shift the automatic step-ratio transmission to neutral in response to vehicle speed being below a threshold with the engine idling while temperatures of at least two of: the traction battery, the electric machine, and the transmission are above associated thresholds to reduce heat generation by the torque converter due to oil shear with the torque converter stalled. The controller may shift the transmission to drive in response to release of a brake pedal. A neutral shift may also be performed in response to high-voltage accessory loads or on-board generator loads exceeding a threshold.
