Hydraulic arrangement and electrically operable, multigear axle drive train

A hydraulic arrangement for an electrically operable, multigear axle drive train of a motor vehicle comprises a hydraulic circuit in which a hydraulic fluid is guided, a hydraulic pump arranged to apply pressure to the hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic circuit, a first hydraulic path arranged to connect a first clutch device to the hydraulic circuit, and a second hydraulic path arranged to connect a second clutch device to the hydraulic circuit. The first and second clutch devices are each arranged to actuate a gear selection device of the electrically operable axle drive train.

Vehicle and control method for vehicle

In a case where intermediate gear stage fault occurs, an electronic control unit determines, using a predetermined relationship for determining gear stage switching between a gear stage on a lower side than the intermediate gear stage by one stage and the intermediate gear stage, whether or not to execute gear stage switching between the low gear stage and a gear stage on a higher than the intermediate gear stage by one stage. For example, compared to using a relationship for determining gear stage switching between a gear stage on the higher side and the intermediate gear stage, it is possible to execute gear stage switching between a gear stage on the lower side and a gear stage on the higher side in a low vehicle speed region. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the influence on vehicle behavior.

Vehicle deceleration control systems and methods

A transmission control system of a vehicle includes an estimated acceleration module and a pressure control module. The estimated acceleration module determines an estimated longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle based on a force at axles of the vehicle corresponding to engine torque, a braking force imposed by mechanical brakes of the vehicle, an aerodynamic drag force of the vehicle, and a road load force imposed on the vehicle by contact between tires of the vehicle and a road surface. The pressure control module, when a measured longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle is negative and the estimated longitudinal acceleration is greater than the measured longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle, adjusts transmission fluid pressure applied to one or more clutches of the transmission and shifts the transmission to neutral.
