Abstract
An apparatus for supporting off-road driving includes a controller configured to receive off-road driving data of a vehicle and control a shift timing of the vehicle according to shift timing control data by applying the off-road driving data to a shift timing control logic, wherein the shift timing control logic may be configured to vary the shift timing according to a possibility of the vehicle stuck in off-road terrain based on the off-road driving data.
Claims20
An apparatus for supporting off-road driving, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to receive off-road driving data of a vehicle and control a shift timing of the vehicle according to shift timing control data by applying the off-road driving data to a shift timing control logic,
- wherein the shift timing control logic is configured to vary the shift timing according to a possibility of the vehicle stuck in off-road terrain based on the off-road driving data.
A method for supporting off-road driving, the method comprising:
- storing a shift timing control logic of a vehicle based on a possibility of vehicle stuck in off-road terrain;
- receiving off-road driving data of the vehicle;
- and
- controlling, by a controller, a shift timing of the vehicle by applying the off-road driving data to the shift timing control logic.
A vehicle comprising:
- a transmission;
- a sensor unit detecting off-road driving data;
- and
- a controller configured to control a shift timing of the transmission according to shift timing control data by applying the off-road driving data to a shift timing control logic,
- wherein the shift timing control logic is configured to vary the shift timing according to a possibility of vehicle stuck in off-road terrain based on the off-road driving data.
