A transmission control device controls a CVT installed in a vehicle. The device has, as modes for the CVT, a CVT mode M1 for changing a transmission gear ratio steplessly based on the operating state of the vehicle, and a stepped transmission mode M2 for changing the transmission gear ratio stepwise based on the operating state of the vehicle. The device includes a transmission mode switching control unit (controller) 12 for controlling switching between the CVT mode M1 and the stepped transmission mode M2 based on an actual accelerator opening. The transmission mode switching control unit (controller) 12 performs switching from the CVT mode M1 to the stepped transmission mode M2, if the actual accelerator opening reaches or exceeds a first threshold value T1 set in a plurality of stages so as to increase stepwise in accordance with an increase in a vehicle speed.

In a control apparatus for an automatic transmission, in a drive train, a driving source and the automatic transmission having a plurality of gear-shift stages including the gear-shift stages at each of which a one way clutch is engaged during a drive are equipped, a gear-shift line correction by such coast correction lines as to provide such gear-shift line shapes projecting toward a lower vehicle speed side in a small accelerator opening area is added to up-shift lines of the gear-shift stages at each of which the one way clutch participates from among the gear-shift lines after the correction by vehicle speed correction lines.

A shift range control device, mounted on a vehicle for switching a shift range by controlling a driving operation of a motor, includes: feedback controller; a feedback value setting unit; a current sensor; and a current correction unit. The feedback controller performs a feedback control based on an actual angle of the motor and a motor speed as a rotational speed of the motor. The feedback value setting unit sets a feedback value of the motor speed to advance a phase of the motor speed, based on the motor speed. The current sensor detects a motor current which flows through the motor. The current correction unit estimates a temperature of the motor based on the motor current, and corrects a target motor speed which is a target speed of the motor determined based on a request shift range.

A vehicle control system and a method for a vehicle running on a low friction road inhibit repetitive gear shifts of a transmission of the vehicle. The vehicle control system of the vehicle includes: one or more sensors for sensing an engine speed of the vehicle, an engine oil temperature, a position of an accelerator pedal, a lateral acceleration of the vehicle, a rotational angle of a steering wheel, or whether a low friction road running mode switch is turned on or off; and a controller for receiving sensor data from the sensors. In particular, the controller determines whether the vehicle satisfies an entry condition for performing a repetitive shift prevention control based on the sensor data, and controls a gear shift of the transmission and an engine torque to inhibit the repetitive gear shifts of the vehicle when the downshift occurs when the vehicle has satisfied the entry condition.

In an automatic transmission control device of the invention configured to start an increase in engagement pressure of a start-up engagement element, when a determination threshold value for determining that a turbine rotational speed has reduced is reached or exceeded, the determination threshold value when a selection operation from a non-traveling range to a traveling range is made before a prescribed period of time from starting of an engine has elapsed, is increased and set greater than the determination threshold value when the selection operation is made after the prescribed period of time has elapsed. Accordingly, a reduction in the turbine rotational speed can be accurately determined, and thus it is possible to suppress torque fluctuations, occurring owing to engagement of a second brake, which is the start-up engagement element.

A continuously variable transmission control method for controlling entry and exit of oil in a primary pulley oil chamber by an electric oil pump disposed in an oil path between the primary pulley oil chamber and a secondary pulley oil chamber, the control method including: comparing a temperature of the electric oil pump with a first threshold; and restricting a shift amount of a continuously variable transmission when the temperature of the electric oil pump is higher than the first threshold.

Disclosed is a method of controlling a shifting time and a transmission controlled by the method. A method of controlling a shifting time of an automatic transmission mounted on a vehicle to control the driving of the transmission by incorporating the state of an engine includes an entry condition determination step of determining whether the engine of the vehicle being driven is a full throttle driving state and a shifting point correction logic entry condition is satisfied, an engine speed calculation step of calculating an expected maximum engine speed during gear shifting, and a shifting time delay step of delaying a shifting time during a specific time if an expected maximum engine speed value calculated in the engine speed calculation step is less than a preset value. Accordingly, a shifting pattern into which maximum acceleration performance set through maximum performance of an engine has been incorporated can be implemented.
