    摘要: A corner determinator detects a corner appearing in a traveling direction of a vehicle and determines whether a detected corner is a blind corner based upon a current position of the vehicle and road data. A blind distance calculator calculates a distance from the determined blind corner to the vehicle based upon the current position of the vehicle and the road data. A necessary engine braking amount calculator calculates, on the basis of a calculated distance, a necessary engine braking amount necessary for decelerating a current vehicle speed to a vehicle speed at which it is possible to stop around the blind corner when a braking operation is performed with a full braking amount. A required speed change stage determinator calculates a required speed change stage based upon the determined necessary engine braking amount. A transmission controller performs a downshift to a determined required speed change stage.

    摘要: Systems and methods for managing shift changes of a multi-speed automatic transmission of a vehicle are provided. The multi-speed automatic transmission being capable of establishing a plurality of forward speed ratios. The vehicle may include a transmission shift selector having at least one operator selectable shift request input to request a shift change of the multi-speed automatic transmission. A control circuit operatively coupled to the multi-speed automatic transmission is provided which shifts the multi-speed automatic transmission from a first forward speed ratio to a second forward speed ratio in response to shift criteria. The shift criteria may be based on a plurality of operational characteristics related to the vehicle.

    摘要: A control device for an automatic transmission includes a continuously variable transmission mechanism, a torque converter, a target transmission ratio calculation unit, a feedback control unit, and a phase compensation unit. The torque converter has a lock-up clutch. The target transmission ratio calculation unit is configured to calculate a target transmission ratio based on a travelling state. The feedback control unit is configured to perform feedback control based on an actual value indicative of a state of the continuously variable transmission mechanism. The phase compensation unit is configured to perform phase lead compensation of the feedback control based on the travelling state. The phase compensation control unit is configured to halt the phase lead compensation when an unstable travelling state of a vehicle is detected. The phase compensation control unit is further configured to release the lock-up clutch when the phase lead compensation is halted.

    摘要: A vehicle control apparatus is configured to execute gear shifting in an automatic transmission, in accordance with at least one selected shifting line, which is selected from among at least one first shifting line and at least one second shifting line, depending on (i) acceleration representative information related to an acceleration representative value representing an acceleration of the vehicle required by an operator of the vehicle and (ii) location information related to a current location of the vehicle, wherein each of the at least one first shifting line is a shifting line stored in a storage device provided in the vehicle, and each of the at least second shifting line is a shifting line in which other-vehicle-related information is reflected. The other-vehicle-related information is information received from an external device located outside the vehicle, and related to other vehicle that is at least one vehicle other than the vehicle.

    摘要: A control apparatus for an automatic transmission includes an ECU. The ECU stores a N−1 speed downshift/a N−2 speed downshift/a N−1 speed upshift/and a hysteresis lines. The hysteresis line is a predetermined distance above the N−1 speed upshift line, and is below the N−2 speed downshift line. The ECU controls the speed of the automatic transmission based on a quantity of state of a vehicle, and the plurality of stored shift lines, and execute, when an N speed is established, a first downshift that changes a speed from the N speed to an N−2 speed, when the quantity of state of the vehicle is in a region above the hysteresis line, after the quantity of state of the vehicle has risen above the N−1 speed downshift line.
