Provided is an automatic transmission with which a large impact is hardly applied to the component of the switching mechanism or the switching control circuit when the drive source is re-driven. When a drive source ENG is determined to be in the stopped state, if the position of a slider HC1 does not correspond to the position the control part ECU instructed before the drive source ENG is determined to be in the stopped state, the control part ECU of the automatic transmission TM transmits a signal for switching a two-way clutch TW to a state corresponding to the state of a slider HC1.

A control device for a vehicle controlling the vehicle including a driving source and an automatic transmission coupled to the driving source and includes a power transmission mechanism including a forward engaging element. The control device for the vehicle includes a first control unit configured to execute a driving-source-stop-while-traveling control that stops the driving source and brings the automatic transmission into a neutral state when a driving-source-stop-while-traveling condition for stopping the driving source while traveling is satisfied and a second control unit configured to engage the forward engaging element on the basis of input and output rotation speeds of the power transmission mechanism after a driving-source-stop-while-traveling cancellation condition is satisfied.

A park lock system for a shifter of an automatic transmission, according to one embodiment, includes a blocking member pivotal between a locked position to prevent movement of the shifter and an unlocked position for allowing movement of the shifter. At least a portion of the blocking member may include hard magnetic properties, such as having a permanent magnet coupled therewith. An electromagnet may have a core member proximate the magnetic portion of the blocking member to cause the blocking member to move to or remain in the locked position when the electromagnet is de-energized. Accordingly, when the electromagnet is energized, the electromagnet may be configured to generate a magnetic field in repelling polarity to the magnetic portion that causes the blocking member to move to the unlocked position.

To provide an internal combustion engine control device provided with a generator driven by an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine and capable of increasing the power generation opportunity of the generator.

The internal combustion engine control device according to the present invention is provided with the generator driven by the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine, and includes an exhaust amount control unit which increases the amount of the exhaust gas supplied to the generator in a coasting state.

A method for turning off an internal combustion engine (ICE) where a clutch arrangement has first and second clutches that respectively couple the ICE to first and second input shafts of a transmission. The input shafts are drivingly connected to first and second sets of gears, respectively. The sets of gears are connected to an output shaft of the transmission. The method includes: controlling the ICE in an idling state when the vehicle is in standstill, wherein the clutches are in open positions; engaging the first input shaft with a first pre-selected gear, and engaging the second input shaft with a second pre-selected gear; initiating an engine turning off command; stopping the ICE by at least partly closing the clutches for simultaneously introducing torque transfer to the clutches into a transmission tie-up state for a controlled engine stop, wherein engine inertia of the ICE is captured in the clutches.

A power transmission includes a first brake, a pressure regulating valve, an accumulator, an oil temperature sensor, a second electromagnetic valve allowing supply of working oil to a piston, and a power transmission control device. The power transmission control device includes a memory relating and storing a working oil temperature and a permission time configured to allow release of the accumulator, and a receiver unit receiving a starting request. The accumulator is connected such that the working oil, in which the pressure is accumulated, can be supplied to the first brake and the piston. The power transmission control device sets a permission time corresponding to a temperature of the working oil on the basis of the memory. The working oil, in which the pressure is accumulated, is supplied to the first brake only during the permission time when restart information is received, while a vehicle performs idling stop control.
