Abstract: A method and apparatus of entering boost mode with paddles, which is capable of ensuring stability of driving by switching driving modes while minimizing movement of a driver’s gaze and hand, includes determining whether to instruct to enter a boost mode based on a sensing value of an accelerator pedal position sensor and an input of a paddle, determining whether a current state of a vehicle is able to enter the boost mode when it is determined to instruct to enter the boost mode, switching, by the controller, a current mode of the vehicle to the boost mode when the controller concludes that the current state of the vehicle is able to enter the boost mode, and determining whether to instruct to release the boost mode based on the sensing value of the accelerator pedal position sensor and the input of the paddle.

Abstract: Disclosed are a rapid acceleration mode system of a vehicle and a method for controlling the same which may provide personalized user options for rapid acceleration. In particular embodiments, the system includes an input device configured to receive a user input regarding whether or not to select a rapid acceleration mode; a storage configured to store at least one of a state reference of a battery and a state reference of a vehicle powertrain; a notification device configured to inform a user whether or not the vehicle enters the rapid acceleration mode; and a controller configured to determine whether or not the vehicle is capable of entering the rapid acceleration mode, and to output whether or not the vehicle is capable of entering the rapid acceleration mode through the notification device.

Abstract: An integrated controller of a powertrain of a vehicle and a control method thereof, to determine an optimum shifting stage of the vehicle, may include a cost function having a driving distance per fuel consumption amount obtained through the simulation of a vehicle model by use of the demand power of the engine as an input value, wherein an optimum shifting stage is determined using the cost function to control an engine throttle in addition to controlling a transmission based on the optimum shifting stage.
