An apparatus of controlling a gear shifting of a vehicle, and a method thereof, to improving shift quality by minimizing the jerk generated in a shifting process of the vehicle, includes storage that stores a Gaussian process (GP) model on which machine learning is completed, and a controller that detects a change amount of engine torque and a change amount of an engagement-side clutch torque based on the GP model, and controls the gear shifting of the vehicle according to the change amount of the engine torque and the change amount of the engagement-side clutch torque.
Control method for constant speed running of vehicle and control device for constant speed running of vehicle
The control method for a constant speed running of a vehicle performs a vehicle speed control for downshifting the gear position of the automatic transmission when the acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle is larger than the determination value during the constant speed running control. In the control method, the automatic transmission includes a plurality of gear positions that can be downshifted during the constant speed running control, and among the plurality of gear positions, the determination value between the gear positions having a relatively large difference in the gear ratio between the gear positions is set to be larger than the determination value between the gear positions having a relatively small difference in the gear ratio between the gear positions.
Transmission with shift drum, angular sensor outputting rotation of shift drum as output value and control unit correcting output value
A transmission includes a shift drum, an angular sensor, and a control unit. The control unit has reference values of the output values at a first rotation angle and a second rotation angle of the shift drum. The control unit is configured to obtain the output values at the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle as a first output value and a second output value, respectively. The control unit is configured to correct the output value output between the first rotation angle and the second rotation angle based on a difference between the first output value and the reference value at the first rotation angle and a difference between the second output value and the reference value at the second rotation angle.
Power transmission control device
A power transmission control device acquires rotation speed information of an idle gear corresponding to a target engagement member and rotation speed information of a sleeve corresponding to an engagement member, sets one rotation speed changeable by a power source as a synchronization side rotation speed, sets the other rotation speed as a target synchronization side rotation speed, allows a differential rotation between the synchronization side rotation speed and the target synchronization side rotation speed to match a predetermined differential rotation by changing the synchronization side rotation speed using the power source after a power transmission releasing state is selected due to a gear changing request, performs an engagement operation, inverts a sign of the predetermined differential rotation, and switches to the power transmission state while allowing the differential rotation to match the predetermined differential rotation of which the sign is inverted.
TRANSMISSION DEVICE MONITORING SYSTEM
Provided is a transmission device monitoring system including: a diagnostic frequency estimation unit that extracts a plurality of diagnostic frequency candidate groups from a frequency region separated by a specific frequency or more using at least current information on a motor, a gear ratio of a transmission device, and the number of stages of the transmission device, and estimates a frequency satisfying a specific relationship from frequencies obtained in the plurality of diagnostic frequency candidate groups as a diagnostic frequency; and an abnormality diagnosis unit that diagnoses abnormality of the transmission device using at least the one diagnostic frequency estimated by the diagnostic frequency estimation unit.
MONITORING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINATION OF GEAR-STICK POSITION, VEHICLE CONTROLLER, AND VEHICLE
A monitoring method and device for determination of a gear-stick position, a vehicle control unit, and a vehicle. The monitoring method for determination of a gear-stick position includes: acquiring a first actual gear-stick position and a first acceptable gear-stick position calculated by a functional layer; calculating a second actual gear-stick position according to a gear-stick position signal; determining whether the first actual gear-stick position and the second actual gear-stick position are consistent; in case that the first actual gear-stick position and the second actual gear-stick position are consistent, determining whether the first acceptable gear-stick position is valid; and in case that the first actual gear-stick position and the second actual gear-stick position are inconsistent or the first acceptable gear-stick position is invalid, controlling the vehicle to enter a safe state. The present application can ensure safe driving of a vehicle.
Apparatus for controlling shifting of a vehicle and a method therefor
An apparatus for controlling shifting of a vehicle and a method therefor are provided, where the apparatus includes a storage storing a power map in which a demand power corresponding to a vehicle speed and an accelerator position sensor (APS) value is recorded and storing an energy consumption map of a power source for each gear stage. The apparatus includes a controller that detects a current demand power based on the power map, generates a power graph representing the detected demand power as the number of revolution and a torque of the power source for each gear stage, and matches the generated power graph with the energy consumption map of the power source to control a shift to a gear stage which consumes minimum energy.
Gear engagement method for a hybrid vehicle
A gear engagement method for a hybrid vehicle includes detecting whether or not baulking occurs when a controller attempts to engage a target gear via a synchronizer. The gear engagement method also includes checking, by the controller, for a stationary state of the vehicle if the result of the detecting shows that there is baulking. The gear engagement method also includes engaging, by the controller via the synchronizer, a different gear that shares a same input shaft with the target gear if the result of the checking shows that the vehicle is in a stationary state. The gear engagement method also includes reattempting an engagement with the target gear after disengaging the different gear. The disengaging and the reattempting are performed by the controller via the synchronizer after the engaging.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The present invention provides an automatic transmission capable of properly judging faults of a switching mechanism. A control part ECU of the automatic transmission TM has an actual change gear ratio calculating part 10 and a fault judging part 11. Under a condition that the control part ECU has recognized that the first brake device B1 is switched to a reverse rotation preventing state, if the actual change gear ratio is kept to be an actual change gear ratio prior to a reduce of a rotational speed of a drive source ENG when the rotational speed of the drive source ENG is reduced, then the fault judging part 11 judges that a first brake B1 has a fault.
METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR SHIFTING TRANSMISSIONS WITH DISSIMILAR GEAR CONFIGURATIONS
Methods and systems for generating control instructions for a plurality of transmissions having dissimilar gear configurations via a common software framework are described. In one example, the common software framework provides a graphic interface whereby a user/implementer describes configurations of different transmissions. The software framework generates instructions for different transmission controllers that shift the transmissions.
