Abstract
A method for controlling the acceleration of a vehicle includes: receiving a demand for acceleration from an operator input device; applying an initial transmission ratio to provide a vehicle acceleration whilst maintaining a current engine speed; and applying a loading transmission ratio to increase the output from the engine, wherein the loading transmission ratio is determined using the vehicle acceleration.
Claims20
A method for controlling an acceleration of a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving a demand for acceleration from an operator input device;
- applying an initial transmission ratio to provide a vehicle acceleration whilst maintaining a current engine speed;
- and
- applying a loading transmission ratio to increase an output from the engine, wherein the loading transmission ratio is determined using the vehicle acceleration.

A vehicle comprising:
- a prime mover comprising an engine;
- a transmission in which a transmission ratio is configured to be controlled via a controller, wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive a demand for acceleration from an operator input device;
- apply an initial transmission ratio to provide a vehicle acceleration whilst maintaining a current engine speed;
- and
- apply a loading transmission ratio to increase the output from a engine, wherein the loading transmission ratio is determined using the vehicle acceleration.
