A hybrid system includes a transmission control module, a power source, a transmission, and a drive train. The transmission control module partially operates the hybrid system and receives operating information from various components of the system, calculates power losses in the drive train, and calculates the driving torque needed to reach a target power profile determined from a driver's input.

The present disclosure provides a method of controlling input torque of a powered vehicle. The vehicle includes a transmission having an input shaft, an output shaft, and a countershaft. The method includes providing input torque to the input shaft, determining a rotational acceleration of the countershaft, and measuring vehicle speed. The method also includes determining a threshold based on the measured vehicle speed. The measured countershaft acceleration is compared to the threshold and the input torque is controlled based on the result of the comparison.

This invention pertains to the field of power transmission. Machines using a power transmission mechanism for transmission of the mechanical power produced by a source (engine (2), electric motor, pneumatic and hydraulic pump) to another component of the machine (wheel (21), electric motor, electric generator, pneumatic and hydraulic pump) through multiple transmission paths (different gear ratios (14), (15)) are subjects of this invention. It is disclosed that control of a switching from one power transmission path to another is done in a manner involving simultaneous load transfer and speed synchronization rather than sequential performance of these two functions, and the resulting method developed in the invention leads to switching operations that produce less disturbance at the input of the said component. The said method is applied to the problem of controlling gearshifts in automatic transmissions of ground vehicles.
