Abstract
An improved system for synchronizing the output speed of an engine (22) with that necessary at the next expected gear to achieve a desired speed ratio updates and monitors the currently engaged gear. In this way, the system improves upon prior systems that attempted to 'count' to determine the currently engaged gear. Moreover, the system provides an operator with a shift intent switch (32) that allows the operator to predict an upshift or a downshift as the next shift. The system calculates what the next expected gear will be based upon this indication. Once the next expected gear is known, the speed ratio at that gear is determined. Once the transmission is moved to neutral, the synchronization speed for the engine (22) is then determined by multiplying the current transmission output speed with that next speed ratio. The engine control (28) drives the engine speed to achieve synchronization speed ratio. The determination is updated as the transmission speed changes. The operator completes the shift with a manual stick shift.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 4 February 1997 (04.02.97); original claim 8 amended; remaining claims unchanged (1 page)]
8. A method of controlling the operation of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing an engine having an output shaft, an electronic control unit for controlling the speed of said engine output shaft, said engine output shaft being connected to drive a multi-speed transmission, and said electronic control unit being operable to calculate the ratio of the transmission and engine output shaft speeds, and determine which gear is currently engaged;
(b) operating a vehicle using the system provided in step (a);
(c) determining a currently engaged gear by calculating the ratio of the engine and transmission output shaft speeds, and comparing said calculated ratio to expected ratios;
(d) determining whether an upshift or a downshift is to be expected as the next shift;
(e) determining a desired engine synchronization speed at a next expected gear by determining said next expected gear based upon said currently engaged gear and said expected shift of step (d), and identifying an engine synchronization speed by multiplying the speed ratio at said next expected gear with the current transmission output speed;
(f) beginning to control said output speed of said engine output shaft to approach said synchronization speed; and
(g) manually shifting said multi-speed transmission toward said next expected gear.
9. A method as recited in Claim 8, wherein the determination of step (d) includes providing an operator shift intention switch, and moving said switch between a position
indicating an upshift or a downshift as appropriate.
