An apparatus and a method for controlling a transmission of a vehicle include an agent that determines a gear stage of the vehicle based on driving information of the vehicle, shape information of a road, and/or operation information of a driver, and include a controller that performs a reward with respect to the determination of the agent and controls the transmission of the vehicle based on the gear stage determined by the agent.

Provided are an apparatus and a method for parking control of a vehicle and the method includes a step in which a control unit determines a driver's parking intention by receiving a brake signal, pressure of a master cylinder, and a position of a shift lever from a brake switch, a pressure detection unit, and a shift lever detection unit, respectively; a step in which the control unit determines a state of the vehicle by receiving an inclination, a wheel speed, and a vehicle speed from an inclination detection unit, a wheel speed detection unit, and a vehicle speed detection unit, respectively; a step in which the control unit determines a state of an electronic parking brake; and a step in which the control unit operates the electronic parking brake through an EPB driving unit.

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.

A shift control device and a shift control method for a vehicle may include a storage to store a table having a target speed corresponding to a speed of the vehicle at a starting point of a coasting operation of the vehicle and a speed profile corresponding to each of gearshifting stages of the vehicle with respect to each downhill slope, and a controller to control gearshifting of the vehicle traveling in the coasting operation on a downhill road, according to the table and the speed profile, to control the speed of the vehicle, according to a driver intent of accelerating the vehicle and a driver intent of traveling the vehicle at a constant speed.
