  • Patent number: 11788619
    Abstract: A method for controlling a transmission of a vehicle includes: determining whether a controller receives an acceleration pedal off signal corresponding to a lift foot up (LFU) shift request signal from an acceleration pedal sensor; determining whether an output signal value of a brake pedal sensor detecting a position value of a brake pedal is less than a brake reference value when the acceleration pedal off signal is received; determining whether a gear shifting progressing rate of the transmission performing a LFU shift in response to the LFU shift request signal is less than a progressing rate reference value when an output signal value of the brake pedal sensor is equal to or greater than the brake reference value; and controlling the transmission to hold the LFU shift when the gear shifting progressing rate of the transmission is less than the progressing rate reference value.

  • Publication number: 20230083915
    Abstract: An embodiment method for controlling a hybrid vehicle includes driving a motor that starts an engine of the hybrid vehicle and controlling the motor to generate an engine starting torque to prevent a vibration of the engine, wherein the engine starting torque is generated by a feedforward control method. An embodiment device for controlling a hybrid vehicle includes a motor configured to start an engine of the hybrid vehicle, and a controller configured to drive the motor and control the motor to generate an engine starting torque to prevent a vibration of the engine, wherein the engine starting torque is generated by a feedforward control method.

  • Publication number: 20220363237
    Abstract: A control apparatus of a hybrid vehicle includes an input and output module for a driver to select a driving mode, an engine that generates power required for vehicle driving by fuel combustion, a driving motor that generates power required for vehicle driving and operates as a generator, a hybrid starter-generator (HSG) that starts the engine and operates as a generator, and a controller. When the driving mode is inputted to a stopping mode through the input and output module, based on an expected stop time, a current SOC of a battery, a target SOC of the battery, output of the driving motor, and output of the HSG, the controller that performs a first charging mode that charges the power generated by the engine in the battery through the driving motor and a second charging mode that charges the power generated by the engine in the battery through the driving motor and the HSG.
