  • Patent number: 9791038
    Abstract: A method of controlling a transmission for a vehicle may include performing deceleration intention determination, by a controller, of determining an intention of a driver for deceleration based on whether a brake pedal signal is received by the controller, upon determining that the driver intends to decelerate, performing downshift determination, by the controller, of determining an intention of the driver to use engine braking based on whether manual downshift of a shifter is performed by the driver, upon determining that the driver intends to use the engine braking, performing continuous shifting determination, by the controller, of determining whether the driver intends to implement maximum engine braking through continuous shifting, and upon determining that the driver has the intention to implement the maximum engine braking, performing continuous shifting, by the controller, of implementing maximum engine braking by shifting to a lowest gear implementable under a current driving condition.

  • Publication number: 20140142824
    Abstract: A method of controlling a damper clutch of a turbocharger mounted automatic transmission vehicle secures stable boost pressure to provide accelerating feeling is disclosed. The method may include detecting driving information from a turbocharger mounted vehicle to determine whether lock up conditions of a damper clutch are satisfied, determining an engine load by a gear shift stage and an engine speed when the lock up conditions of the damper clutch are satisfied, detecting supplied boost pressure to determine whether conditions of the engine load are satisfied, and canceling the lock up of the damper clutch for accelerating feeling when the boost pressure does not satisfy the conditions of the engine load.
