As a mode switching shift line when a sub-transmission mechanism is switched from a first-speed to a second-speed, a first mode switching shift line, which prioritizes a learning of a hydraulic pressure with which a Low brake starts to slip and a learning of a hydraulic pressure with which a High clutch starts to transmit a torque, or a second mode switching shift line, which is a shift line in a Low side with respect to the first mode switching shift line and prioritizes a fuel efficiency of an engine is selected, and the sub-transmission mechanism is switched from the first-speed to the second-speed on the basis of the selected mode switching shift line.

A shift control device to be applied to a vehicle provided with an automatic transmission includes a detector and a shift mode control processor. The detector detects that the vehicle has passed through a tollgate through which the vehicle is able to pass without stopping. The shift mode control processor switches a shift mode of the vehicle from a first shift mode to a second shift mode the shift mode of the vehicle upon passing through the tollgate is the first shift mode and a predetermined condition regarding one or both of a speed of the vehicle and an accelerator opening degree of the vehicle is satisfied after the vehicle passes through the tollgate. In the first shift mode, a shift operation is performable by a driver, and in the second shift mode, a shift operation is performable by the automatic transmission.

A shift control system for vehicle includes a transmission that performs an upshift based on an accelerator opening, comprising: a detector that detects a longitudinal acceleration the vehicle, a calculator that calculates a change amount per unit time of the accelerator opening, and a controller that controls the transmission. The controller repeatedly executes upshift to reduce a speed ratio of the transmission based on a second condition that determines a shift timing of the upshift, upon satisfaction of a first condition. The first condition is satisfied if the acceleration increasing the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a predetermined first threshold value, the change amount is in a stable state falling within a certain range, and a time period that the change amount keeps falling within the certain range has exceeded a second threshold value.

A control apparatus includes a switching control unit that switches a traveling mode of a vehicle from an automated driving mode to a manual driving mode if an automated drive canceling request to cancel the automated driving mode to switch to the manual driving mode is submitted while the vehicle is traveling in the automated driving mode. The switching control unit performs transmission gear setting control in which a transmission gear of an automatic transmission is set to a highest transmission gear among transmission gears within a range of a predetermined allowable driving force in the switching from the automated driving mode to the manual driving mode.

A power transmission system of a vehicle and a gear-shift control method are provided. The power transmission system includes a first drive assembly (101) and a second drive assembly (102). The first drive assembly includes a first automatic transmission (2) and a first motor (1) connected with the first automatic transmission (2) for outputting power to two wheels of the vehicle. The second drive assembly (102) includes a second automatic transmission (2000) and a second motor (1000) connected with the second automatic transmission (2000) for outputting power to the other two wheels of the vehicle. The first and second automatic transmission are configured to be shifted to a preset gear or a gear adjacent to the preset gear, such that when one of the first and second automatic transmission is shifted to the preset gear, the other one of the first and second automatic transmission is shifted to the preset gear or the gear adjacent to the preset gear.

A method for transmission upshift sequencing includes detecting a lift foot gear hold condition is met and that a current engine speed is greater than a pattern gear engine speed for the current gear. If these conditions exists then the current gear is held until a first sequence timer expires and then an upshift event occurs to a first gear having an engine speed less than the current engine speed. The first gear is then held until a at least one other sequence timer expires and, thereafter, at least one other gear is selected and held until the engine speed is less than or equal to a pattern gear engine speed.
