During shift control of a transmission mechanism, a hybrid drive device computes the amount of change in input torque (deTr) acting on the transmission mechanism and an input torque change time (t15), and controls a motor so that motor torque is changed by the amount of change in input torque (deTr), when the motor can change the amount of change in input torque (deTr), and outputs, when the motor cannot change the amount of change in input torque (deTr), an engine torque signal (Tesig1) at an engine torque change time (t14) earlier than the input torque change time (t15) at which drive power of the motor is changed when the motor can change the amount of change in input torque (deTr).

A method for controlling a valve to disengage a gear in a transmission. The method includes reducing, after receiving a request to disengage the gear, a current supplied to the valve from a starting to a first current. The method further includes counting a first elapsed time since the valve was reduced to the first current, comparing the first elapsed time to a first wait time, and increasing the current supplied to the valve to a second current once the first elapsed time exceeds the first wait time. The method further includes counting a second elapsed time since the valve was increased to the second current, comparing the second elapsed time to a second wait time, and reducing the current supplied to the valve to a third current once the second elapsed exceeds the second wait time. The valve is closed when the current is the third current.

A method for operating a motor vehicle with a prime mover (1), a drive output (2), and a parking lock (4) is provided. The parking lock (4), in an engaged condition, blocks a shaft (3) coupled to the drive output (2) and, in a disengaged condition, releases the shaft (3). In order to disengage the parking lock (4), at least one coupling mass (6) is coupled to the shaft (3), which is coupled to the drive output (2), while increasing the moment of inertia effective at the shaft (3).

A fault evaluation device for an automatic transmission evaluates a fault of the automatic transmission. The fault evaluation device is used for a vehicle having the automatic transmission and a control device configured to execute a learning process for correcting a target pressure for oil to be supplied to the automatic transmission such that variations in acceleration of the vehicle during shifting of the automatic transmission are small. The fault evaluation device includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores mapping data that prescribe mapping. The processor is configured to output an output variable, which is an evaluation value that indicates the presence or absence of the fault of the automatic transmission, when an input variable is input.

A control device of a gear transmission-equipped vehicle includes a power controller that starts power reduction control when it is determined that a start condition is satisfied, the power reduction control being control of reducing power transmitted from a driving source to a gear transmission.

A method for multi-speed electric vehicle shift control for damping an acceleration oscillation of the electric vehicle. The method includes determining a percentage of accelerator pedal travel and then retrieving a clutch calibration, a first electric motor calibration, and a second electric motor calibration correlating with the determined percentage of accelerator pedal travel. The method then applies the clutch calibration in actuating a clutch-to-clutch gear ratio change, thereby generating a vibration fluctuation in a first axle, and applies the first electric motor calibration in modulating a first electric motor to dampen the vibration fluctuation. The clutch actuation and first electric motor modulation together produces a first axle torque oscillation. The method applies the second electric motor calibration in modulating the second electric motor to generate a second axle torque oscillation sufficiently out-of-phase with the first axle torque oscillation, thereby dampening the vehicle acceleration oscillation of the electric vehicle.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for controlling a gearshift in a vehicle with a transmission (120) comprising a stepped gearing, the transmission (120) being arranged between an engine (110) and at least one driven axle (123), wherein the engine and the transmission are controlled by an electronic control unit (140), The method involves monitoring at least one parameter related to a vehicle operating condition; registering that a manual upshift command is requested; determining a desired shift point and a target engine speed based on a parameter comprising at least current engine speed; and performing an upshift when the target engine speed is reached.
