Abstract
A method for controlling a transmission provided in a vehicle may include providing a reference data for automatic shift of the transmission according to a speed reference of the vehicle, collecting a detected data delivered from at least one detector or operation state information related to an in-vehicle device, wherein the at least one detector and the in-vehicle device is attached or mounted on the vehicle configured for recognizing a driving condition, determining a mode for the automatic shift based at least on the detected data or the operating state information, and performing the automatic shift according to the mode.
Claims18
A method for controlling a transmission provided in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a reference data for automatic shift of the transmission according to a speed reference of the vehicle;
- collecting a detected data delivered from at least one detector or operation state information related to an in-vehicle device, wherein the at least one detector and the in-vehicle device are attached or mounted on the vehicle and configured for recognizing a driving condition;
- determining a mode for the automatic shift based at least on the detected data or the operation state information;
- and
- performing the automatic shift according to the mode,
- wherein the at least one detector includes a detector configured to collect neighboring vehicle or obstacle information related to the vehicle, wherein the detector is disposed in at least one of a front, a side, and a rear of the vehicle.
An apparatus for controlling a transmission provided in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a powertrain control device configured to provide a reference data for automatic shift of the transmission according to a speed reference of the vehicle;
- and
- a smart driving control device configured to collect a detected data delivered from at least one detector or operation state information related to an in-vehicle device and to determine a mode for the automatic shift based at least on the detected data or the operation state information,
- wherein the automatic shift is performed according to the mode,
- wherein the at least one detector and the in-vehicle device are attached or mounted on the vehicle configured for recognizing a driving condition,
- wherein the at least one detector includes a detector configured to collect neighboring vehicle or obstacle information related to the vehicle, and
- wherein the detector is disposed in at least one of a front, a side, and a rear of the vehicle.
