A method to control a road vehicle for the execution of a standing start; the control method comprises the steps of: engaging a gear in a transmission while a corresponding clutch is open; progressively closing the clutch causing the clutch to transmit a torque that causes the rotation of at least a pair of drive wheels; determining a target slip of the drive wheels; cyclically determining a real slip of the of the drive wheels; and continuously modulating the torque transmitted by the clutch during the closing of the clutch based of a difference between the target slip of the drive wheels and the real slip of the of the drive wheels.

A speed control device which is satisfactory in response and tracking to a speed setting, and can adjust an acceleration-and-deceleration feel according to preferences, is provided. The speed control device 6 controls a speed of a ship so that the speed automatically follows a speed setting set by a ship operator. The speed control device 6 includes a target speed setting module 63 and a change rate adjusting module 64. The target speed setting module 63 sets a target speed that is a target of the speed of the ship to follow, for every unit time, according to the speed setting, to change the target speed based on a given rate of change. The change rate adjusting module 64 decreases the rate of change by adjusting the rate of change at multiple stages, when the target speed set by the target speed setting module 63 approaches the speed setting.

A control system for a motor vehicle, for outputting a controlled variable, with the aid of which a directly controlled variable of a motor vehicle is adjustable via suitable control operations, in order to adapt the directly controlled variable to a reference variable of the control system. The control system includes a controller, which is configured to output a first output variable on the basis of the directly controlled variable of the motor vehicle, and on the basis of the reference variable of the control system. The control system further includes a predictive model, which may be trained to output a second output variable that reflects a deviation of a driving behavior of a driver of the motor vehicle from the first output variable of the controller. The controlled variable of the control system encompasses an addition of the first output variable and the second output variable.

Provided is a control method and system for clutch engagement of a hybrid vehicle. The control method includes: when the hybrid vehicle meets a condition of adjusting a rotational speed of an engine, controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter a mode of adjusting the rotational speed of the engine, and determining a target rotational speed of the engine according to a rotational speed of a drive motor as well as transmission ratios of the engine and the drive motor to a drive wheel end and drive relationships of the engine and the drive motor with the drive wheel end; and when a difference value between the rotational speed of the engine and the target rotational speed of the engine is constantly smaller than a threshold value within a set time, controlling a clutch of the hybrid vehicle to be engaged.

In one embodiment, a control command is generated by an autonomous controller of the ADV. Feedback is sensed that corresponds to the control command. A difference is determined between a) the control command, and b) the feedback corresponding to the control command. If the difference is meets a threshold, then a fault response is generated.

An apparatus for shift control in a vehicle includes: a transmission; an acceleration apparatus; and a control circuit electrically connected with the transmission and the acceleration apparatus. The control circuit shifts the transmission from a drive state to a neutral state when an activation condition for coasting is satisfied during travel of the vehicle, and corrects an oil pressure for release of a clutch in the transmission at the time of a kickdown shift, when a driver's input for kickdown is detected through the acceleration apparatus during the coasting.
