Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes, during deceleration of a vehicle during which the friction brake system is distributing a braking force to front and rear wheels, a regeneration control of imparting a regenerative braking torque to the rear wheels by causing the motor to perform a regeneration operation and a gear-shifting control of changing a shift stage of the automatic transmission by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft to the automatic transmission. When the controller determines an oversteered state of the vehicle during the regeneration control, the controller increases an input torque of the input shaft so that the regenerative braking torque decreases while maintaining the regeneration operation of the motor and, at the same time, limits the gear-shifting control.

Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes regeneration control and gear-shifting control during deceleration of the vehicle with a braking force to front and rear wheels. The controller increases an input torque of an input shaft according to a downshift so that an accompanying acceleration fluctuation equals a target acceleration fluctuation. When the controller determines an oversteered state during the regeneration control and during a downshift, the controller increases the input torque so that a regenerative braking torque decreases while maintaining a regeneration operation of the motor and, at the same time, the controller causes the automatic transmission to perform the downshift in a state where an amount of increase of the input torque in accordance with the downshift has been increased compared to during a non-determination of the oversteered state.

Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, an automatic transmission, and a controller which changes a shift stage by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft to the automatic transmission. The controller executes a torque-regulating control of temporarily increasing or decreasing an input torque input to the input shaft during a shift-change, and when executing the control, determines whether or not a target increase/decrease amount of the input torque can be realized based on calculation results of a target output torque and a target gear-shifting time, executes the control to realize the target amount when it is determined that the target amount can be realized, and executes the control based on an allowable gear-shifting time set in advance to be longer than the target gear-shifting time when it is determined that the target amount cannot be realized.

Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes, during deceleration of an automobile, a gear-shifting control of changing a shift stage of the automatic transmission by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft and a regeneration control of performing regeneration by at least one of distributing a braking force by the friction brake system and imparting a regenerative braking torque to rear wheels by causing the motor to perform a regeneration operation. The controller executes a first coordinated gear-shifting control of reducing hydraulic pressure in the friction brake system and, at the same time, changing the shift stage while continuing the regeneration operation during brake regeneration and executes a second coordinated gear-shifting control of changing the shift stage after increasing an input torque during non-brake regeneration.

Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes a regeneration control of imparting a regenerative braking torque to rear wheels by causing the motor to perform a regeneration operation and a gear-shifting control of changing a shift stage of the automatic transmission by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft. The controller starts the gear-shifting control, triggered by the rotation speed decreasing to a predetermined downshift point during a downshift of the shift stage, and during deceleration of the vehicle when a coefficient of friction of a road surface is lower than a predetermined threshold in the regeneration control, the controller sets the downshift point lower than when the coefficient of friction is equal to or higher than the threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle gear-shifting control apparatus is equipped with an engine, a motor, an automatic transmission, a friction brake system, and a controller which executes, during deceleration during which the friction brake system is distributing a braking force to front and rear wheels, a regeneration control of imparting a regenerative braking torque to the rear wheels and a gear-shifting control of changing a shift stage of the automatic transmission by outputting a gear-shifting signal in accordance with the rotation speed of an input shaft to the transmission. When the controller determines an oversteered state of the vehicle during the regeneration control, the controller increases an input torque of the input shaft so that the regenerative braking torque decreases while maintaining the regeneration operation of the motor and, at the same time, interrupts motive power transmission between the input shaft and an output shaft of the transmission.
