Abstract
A shift control device to be applied to a vehicle provided with an automatic transmission includes a detector and a shift mode control processor. The detector detects that the vehicle has passed through a tollgate through which the vehicle is able to pass without stopping. The shift mode control processor switches a shift mode of the vehicle from a first shift mode to a second shift mode the shift mode of the vehicle upon passing through the tollgate is the first shift mode and a predetermined condition regarding one or both of a speed of the vehicle and an accelerator opening degree of the vehicle is satisfied after the vehicle passes through the tollgate. In the first shift mode, a shift operation is performable by a driver, and in the second shift mode, a shift operation is performable by the automatic transmission.
Claims6
A shift control device to be applied to a vehicle provided with an automatic transmission, the shift control device comprising:
- a detector configured to detect that the vehicle has passed through a tollgate, the tollgate being through which the vehicle is able to pass without stopping;
- and
- a shift mode control processor configured to switch a shift mode of the vehicle from a first shift mode to a second shift mode when the shift mode of the vehicle upon passing through the tollgate is the first shift mode and a predetermined condition regarding one or both of a speed of the vehicle and an accelerator opening degree of the vehicle is satisfied after the vehicle passes through the tollgate, the first shift mode being a mode in which a shift operation is performable by a driver who drives the vehicle, the second shift mode being a mode in which a shift operation is performable by the automatic transmission.
A shift control device to be applied to a vehicle provided with an automatic transmission, the shift control device comprising circuitry configured to
- detect that the vehicle has passed through a tollgate, the tollgate being through which the vehicle is able to pass without stopping, and
- switch a shift mode of the vehicle from a first shift mode to a second shift mode when the shift mode of the vehicle upon passing through the tollgate is the first shift mode and a predetermined condition regarding one or both of a speed of the vehicle and an accelerator opening degree of the vehicle is satisfied after the vehicle passes through the tollgate, the first shift mode being a mode in which a shift operation is performable by a driver who drives the vehicle, the second shift mode being a mode in which a shift operation is performable by the automatic transmission.
