Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, an accelerator pedal, and a controller. The controller is programmed to command torque to the engine based on a set speed of adaptive cruise control and is programmed to, in response to the adaptive cruise control being active, a measured lateral acceleration of the vehicle exceeding a user-defined lateral acceleration threshold during a road curve, and the accelerator pedal being released, reduce a speed of the vehicle below the set speed until the measured lateral acceleration is less than the lateral acceleration threshold.

Abstract: A method of controlling a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) simulates a step-ratio transmission upshift. To simulate a step-ratio torque phase, the input torque is gradually reduced before beginning to change the variator ratio. Then, as the variator ratio is changed, the input torque is gradually increased to compensate for the decreasing torque ratio, simulating the relatively constant output torque of an inertia phase of a step-ratio upshift.

Abstract: A vehicle, among other things, may use predicted rates of change in vehicle speed based on past driving data of a particular user to allocate resources within the vehicle, to recreate the behavior of particular user in an automated driving system, or to accurately predict a capability of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, a primary axle drivably connected to the engine, and a secondary axle drivably connected to the engine by a clutch. A controller is programmed to, in response to map data indicating that the vehicle is off-road, enable an off-road transfer torque control mode in which temperatures of the clutch are compared to a lower threshold. The controller is further programmed to, in response to the temperature of the clutch exceeding the lower threshold, display a message to a driver indicative of rising temperatures of the clutch, and, in response to a temperature of the clutch exceeding an upper limit, enable a power limiting mode in which torque of the engine is limited to a predefined value.

Abstract: To reduce fuel consumption, a transmission is shifted into a neutral state, called neutral idle, when a vehicle stops in a drive mode. During a transition from a neutral idle state to an engaged state, the engine torque is controlled to avoid excessive shift energy and to mitigate acceleration drop. Specifically, the engine torque is set to a level equal to a sum of a transmission torque capacity and an offset, which is a function of accelerator pedal position. The transmission torque capacity is calculated based on the engaging shift element torque capacity and torque ratios associated with the kinematics and the torque converter. To accommodate noise factors such as variation over time, the offset function is adapted in response to measured clutch energy and acceleration drop.

Abstract: An electrified vehicle torque transfer system includes, among other things, an engine having an engine shaft, an electric machine having an electric machine shaft, a first clutch that is selectively engaged to rotatably couple together the engine shaft and the electric machine shaft such that the engine can drive rotation of the electric machine, and a second clutch that is selectively engaged to rotatably couple together the engine shaft and the electric machine shaft such that the electric machine can drive rotation of the engine.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a transmission and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a torque request, calculate a Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) for satisfying the torque request in an initial gear and in an alternate gear, and command the transmission to shift from the initial gear into the alternate gear in response to the calculated SFC for satisfying the torque request in the alternate gear being less than the calculated SFC for satisfying the torque request in the initial gear.
