摘要:
An apparatus for controlling a vehicle automatic transmission, wherein a moment at which the supply of a pressurized fluid to a hydraulic cylinder for engagement of a frictional coupling device to effect an upshift of the transmission during running of the vehicle in a power-off state is initiated is determined by comparing an estimated synchronizing time required for the transmission input speed to reach a synchronizing speed of a higher-gear position to which the transmission is shifted, with a stored predetermined stroking time required for the piston of the hydraulic cylinder to reach its engaging stroke end.

Vehicle control apparatus for effecting cooperative control of an automatic transmission and a drive power source which produces an output to drive the vehicle through the automatic transmission, the automatic transmission incorporating a frictional coupling device which is engaged to place the automatic transmission in a power transmitting state, during power driving of the vehicle with the output of the drive power source, and is released to place the automatic transmission in a power disconnecting state, during coasting of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a device for determining whether a control initiating condition required to initiate an output increase control for temporarily increasing the output of the drive power source is satisfied or not, depending upon whether an operation to accelerate the vehicle is performed during the vehicle coasting while the frictional coupling device is placed in a released state, and a device which is operated when the control initiating condition is satisfied, for effecting the output increase control such that the output of the drive power source is larger by a predetermined amount than when the output increase control is not effected.
摘要:
An apparatus for controlling an automatic transmission of an automotive vehicle, which is shifted to a selected one of operating positions by an engaging action of a frictional coupling device, wherein an overshoot engagement control device is provided to shift the automatic transmission to the selected one operating position such that a shifting action of the automatic transmission is initiated while an input speed of the automatic transmission is lower than a synchronizing speed of the selected operating position. The overshoot engagement control device is arranged to control an engaging force of the frictional coupling device such that the input speed is first raised above the synchronizing speed and is then lowered down toward the synchronizing speed.

Presented is an EDR for storing predetermined information. The EDR is mounted to a vehicle (e.g., automobile) and includes a control unit that determines an event and controls a storage unit to store predetermined information therein. If the driver either depresses an accelerator pedal within a predetermined period after manipulating a shift lever or simultaneously manipulates the shift lever and depresses the accelerator pedal, the storage unit is controlled to store therein at least operating information on the operation of the shift lever and the accelerator pedal and traveling state information on the vehicle's traveling state. This configuration limits unnecessary increases in size of stored data even if information is stored on events that are not directly related to accidents.

A hydraulic control apparatus of an automatic transmission estimates the possibility of there being a demand for a shift into a gear lower than the current gear during a power-off downshift operation. If there is a possibility that there will be a demand for a shift into the next gear during the shift, the hydraulic control apparatus starts an operation for supplying an apply preparation hydraulic pressure in preparation for the shift into that next gear.

An ECU executes a program that includes the steps of i) calculating a sporty running counting SC based on a state of a vehicle according to an operation of a driver; ii) changing a condition for executing sporty running in which an upshift is inhibited when an accelerator is suddenly released and in which a downshift is promoted during sudden braking such that the condition is easier to satisfy and changing a condition for returning from sporty running so that it is more difficult to satisfy when the sporty running count SC is equal to or greater than a threshold value; and iii) changing the condition for executing sporty running so that it is more difficult to satisfy and changing the condition for returning from sporty running so that it is easier to satisfy when the sporty running count SC is not equal to or greater than the threshold value.

摘要:
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.
