  • Publication number: 20120136544
    Abstract: A method and a system for controlling vehicle shifting is configured to change shift patterns by reflecting a driver's shifting habits. The method may include running the vehicle according to a first shift pattern, detecting control parameters, determining whether the detected control parameters satisfies a first shift pattern conversion condition, and running the vehicle according to a second shift pattern when the first shift pattern conversion condition is satisfied.
