Publication number: 20220153264Abstract: Changes in the controlling of an autonomous vehicle are caused based on an operational risk determined for the autonomous vehicle. An operational risk monitor module of the autonomous vehicle uses information about objects detected within an environment in which the autonomous vehicle is located and predicted behaviors of those objects to assess the operational risk of the autonomous vehicle along a planned path. The operational risk is used to determine whether to cause a change in the controlling of the autonomous vehicle, for example, based on a comparison between the operational risk and a previously estimated operational risk or based on a determination that the operational risk exceeds a threshold. The operational risk monitor module transmits a signal to one or more control system modules of the autonomous vehicle to indicate to change the controlling of the autonomous vehicle based on the operational risk.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Michael Woon, Michael Glenn Diaz

Patent number: 11198440Abstract: A control system and method for controlling a multiple gear ratio automatic transmission in a powertrain for an automatic transmission having pressure activated fiction torque elements to effect gear ratio upshifts. The friction torque elements are synchronously engaged and released during a torque phase of an upshift event as torque from a torque source is increased while allowing the off-going friction elements to slip, followed by an inertia phase during which torque from a torque source is modulated. A perceptible transmission output torque reduction during an upshift is avoided. Measured torque values are used during a torque phase of the upshift to correct an estimated oncoming friction element target torque so that transient torque disturbances at an oncoming clutch are avoided and torque transients at the output shaft are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Christopher John Teslak, Gregory Michael Pietron, Hongtei Eric Tseng, Yuji Fujii, Michael Glenn Fodor, Diana Yanakiev, Seung-Hoon Lee
