  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLE CONTROL DURING BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20120046840
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for vehicle control during braking for vehicles having a transmission gear movable between at least a drive position and a neutral position. A wheel speed sensor measures a wheel speed of the wheel. A controller is coupled to the wheel speed sensor. The controller calculates a parameter using the wheel speed, and shifts the transmission gear from the drive position to the neutral position if the parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold. The parameter is indicative of a load on a component of the vehicle.
