A method for shifting a transmission in a machine. The method includes detecting a request for a directional shift of the transmission and determining a ground speed of the machine in response to the request. The method further includes overriding the request if the ground speed is above a ground speed threshold. Further, the method includes preparing the machine for the directional shift by limiting an output speed of a power source of the machine and by issuing a command to a brake unit of the machine to reduce the ground speed of the machine. Furthermore, the method includes validating and raising the request to the transmission to execute the directional shift if the ground speed is below the ground speed threshold.

A series hybrid vehicle control method charges a battery with electric power generated by an electric power generation motor driven by an internal combustion engine, and electric power regenerated by a drive motor. The control method starts generating the electric power by the engine if a requested output exceeds a power generation start threshold value, and stops generating electric power by the engine if the requested output falls below a power generation stop threshold value. A deceleration rate by regeneration of the drive motor is greater in a second advancement shift position than in a first advancement shift position. The power generation start threshold value and/or the power generation stop threshold value where the second advancement shift position has been selected is greater than the power generation start threshold value or the power generation stop threshold value where the first advancement shift position has been selected.

A vehicle position correction apparatus and a method thereof may include a learner that deep learns a model which predicts a position of a probe vehicle based on driving information of the probe vehicle traveling on a road, a communication device that receives driving information of a target vehicle from the target vehicle, and a controller that obtains a predicted position of the target vehicle based on the model on which the deep learning is completed and corrects an actually measured position of the target vehicle to the predicted position of the target vehicle.

The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for assisting a driver to travel through a drive-through lane of an establishment in an autonomous mode of operation. In an example method, a processor in a vehicle determines a location of the vehicle in a drive-through lane in various ways such as, for example, based on objects located in the vicinity of the drive-through lane, based on location coordinates, and/or based on a geofence defined around the establishment. The processor may then place the vehicle in an autonomous mode of operation and instruct the driver of the vehicle to refrain from touching vehicle driving control components such as the steering wheel, the brake pedal, and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle autonomously then moves through the drive-through lane in a stop-and-go mode of movement at a controlled speed while executing lane-centering and collision avoidance.
