A dual clutch automatic transmission includes a one-way clutch provided in a driving force transmission path that establishes a certain gear ratio in a first set of gear ratios. A driving transmission direction of the one-way clutch is set such that a rotation inputted from a wheel side to an output member in a predetermined rotational direction is transmitted to the input shaft. The predetermined rotational direction corresponds to a backward movement of a vehicle. On condition that the vehicle has stopped, backward movement prevention control of causing the switching mechanism to engage a transmission gear for another gear ratio in the first set with the input shaft can be executed.

A driving transmission direction of the one-way clutch is set such that a rotation inputted from a wheel side to an output member in a predetermined rotational direction is transmitted to the input shaft. The predetermined rotational direction corresponds to a backward movement of a vehicle. On condition that the traveling state of the vehicle reaches a predetermined deceleration state, switching control of setting the gears for the first set to a neutral position can be executed.

A vehicle makes a notification to prompt a driver to perform a predetermined operation in a case in which a predetermined function of the vehicle is lost, and starts a recovery operation of the function on condition that the predetermined operation is performed.

A method for operating a dual clutch transmission of a motor vehicle having a first partial transmission, a second partial transmission, and a transmission output shaft common to the partial transmissions and drivable both by the first partial transmission and by the second partial transmission, in which the dual clutch transmission is in a parking lock state in which two gears of one of the partial transmissions are engaged simultaneously. The following steps are carried out to exit the parking lock state: Introducing a torque caused by a drive element of the motor vehicle via the transmission output shaft common to the one partial transmissions into the one and/or other partial transmission while the gears of the partial transmission are engaged; and disengaging at least one of the gears of the one partial transmission engaged simultaneously in step a).

A method of starting or holding a mobile vehicle and, in particular, a working machine. The method determines whether the vehicle is rolling backward on an inclined surface and, as a function of that knowledge, the rotational speed of the drive engine is increased, or a downshift by one gear is carried out in the transmission.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle parking lock system that realizes a parking lock with a positive user perception, and enables energy and cost reductions without complex control and with a simple configuration. The object is achieved by a selectable clutch configured to be switchable between four operating modes and provided to one of an input shaft, an output shaft, and an intermediate shaft of a transmission. The operating mode of the selectable clutch is controlled based on detection signals of a plurality of sensors to prevent an unintended movement of the vehicle when the vehicle is stationary.

A control system for a vehicle having an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) having a ball planetary variator (CVP), providing a smooth and controlled operation. In some embodiments, the control system implements a rollback prevention sub-module. The rollback prevention sub-module is adapted to receive a number of signals, for example, a signal indicative of a transmission output shaft speed and a signal indicative of a commanded CVP shift actuator position. In some embodiments, the rollback prevention sub-module determines a correction value to be applied to the commanded CVP shift actuator position. The correction value is based at least in part on the transmission output shaft speed signal. In some embodiments, the rollback prevention sub-module is adapted to monitor and determine the deactivation of a CVP shift actuator.

Methods and systems for a hydromechanical transmission in a vehicle are provided herein. In one example, the transmission system includes a hydrostatic assembly with a hydraulic pump in fluidic communication with a hydraulic motor. The transmission system further includes a controller configured to selectively transition between a torque control mode and a speed control mode of the hydrostatic assembly while the vehicle is on a slope.

A hill stop control method includes: when it is determined that a vehicle is in a park brake state, determining, by acquiring the current parameter of the vehicle, whether the vehicle is in a working condition of being prone to sliding; and when it is determined that the vehicle is in a working condition of being prone to sliding, controlling a mode switch of a transfer case to switch the current drive mode to a high-speed four-wheel drive mode having a stronger brake force or a low-speed drive mode. In this way, the automatic switching of a drive mode is realized without changing a brake system; and when stopped on a hill, friction forces between tires and the ground are increased, thereby effectively reducing the risk of sliding down a hill.

A control method for preventing backward slipping of a vehicle includes a range detection step in which a controller detects a range position of a shift lever, a gradient comparison step in which the controller compares a gradient of a road with a predetermined reference gradient when it is determined that the position of the shift lever is the D range, a stop state check step where the controller checks a brake and a driving state of the vehicle when it is determined at the gradient comparison step that the gradient of the road is equal to or greater than the reference gradient, and an inter-lock implementation step in which the controller engages multiple gears on an identical shaft when it is determined at the stop state check step that the brake is on and the vehicle has stopped.
