Abstract: In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for assisting in acceleration of a vehicle during re-acceleration. In one embodiment, a system comprises one or more sensors that monitor vehicular conditions, which are transmitted to and processed by an electronic controller. When the processed signals indicate re-acceleration of the vehicle, the electronic controller activates an aggressive schedule or aggressive throttle map that defines instructions for downshifting a transmission gear position or for increasing a throttle so as to assist in acceleration of the vehicle during re-acceleration. The electronic controller activates the instructions when one or more vehicular conditions of accelerator pedal depression exceed a predefined value during re-acceleration. The electronic controller selects the instructions most appropriate for assisting in acceleration according to the processed signals.

Abstract: In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for controlling transmission downshifting of a vehicle. The systems and methods monitor vehicular conditions continuously throughout vehicle travel such that downshifting may occur during braking along a decline and are not influenced by and do not interfere with road grade calculation systems. In one embodiment, a system comprises sensors that monitor vehicular conditions. The sensors transmit signals indicative of vehicular conditions to an electronic controller that processes the signals. The electronic controller generates instructions for downshifting where the processed signals indicate vehicle travel along a decline and when downshifting would not cause exceeding of a maximum revolutions per minute limit. The instructions are transmitted to a transmission system that downshifts the transmission gear position according to the instructions.
