48 Shift control apparatus and method for automatic transmission of vehicle US11797711 2007-05-07 US20070270279A1 2007-11-22 Hidenori Saitoh; Masami Kondo
When a n speed prohibition command is being output from the AI shift controlling means, the AI shift control is performed even in the S mode if the vehicle speed V is lower than the reference vehicle speed Vn, whereby busy shifting can be effectively prevented when the vehicle is running on an uphill road or cornering. When the vehicle speed V is equal to or higher than the reference vehicle speed Vn, the AI shift control is cancelled, thus minimizing the possibility of a large engine brake force being applied to the vehicle despite the intention of the driver.

A system for controlling the temperature of a particulate filter coupled to an exhaust outlet of an internal combustion engine includes a controller responsive to volumetric flow and temperature of exhaust gas to determine a filter regeneration parameter.

Such strategies include shifting the duty cycle of the engine toward lower engine speed operation along lines of constant power output, modifying the ratio of electrical power and engine power and controlling recharging of the battery supplying electrical energy to the vehicle's electric drive motor under vehicle deceleration conditions. In vehicle applications including a transmission coupled directly to the engine, shift points of the transmission are modified as a function of the regeneration parameter to control exhaust gas temperature.

An apparatus and method for controlling an automatic transmission having a controller that changes temporarily from the automatic operating mode, position D to a driver-influenced operating mode if a second rocker switch, which is arrange on the steering wheel, is activated. The automatic operating mode is not discontinued permanently, because after a set time has elapsed, the automatic operating mode becomes active again. Returning to the automatic operating mode is only possible if the current transverse acceleration is below a preset limiting value, and traction operation is in effect at the same time. The remaining time before returning to the automatic operating mode is set to a minimum value, after the manual operating mode has briefly been called up, as soon as one of the referenced conditions, which causes a return to the automatic operating mode to be suppressed, is no longer in effect.
