Abstract: [Task] It is an object of the present invention to provide control device and control method for an automatic transmission which are capable of quickly converging an estimated vehicle speed 2 into a highly accurate state while an estimation response characteristic of the estimated vehicle speed 2 is secured. [Means for Solution] When a read-ahead vehicle speed is calculated using an integrator and a delay element, a predetermined gain used for an integral calculation is made small if a result of integral calculation is in excess of a predetermined value based on an actual vehicle speed.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide control device and control method for an automatic transmission which are capable of selecting a gear shift stage which accords with an intention of a vehicle driver irrespective of an accelerator opening angle. When an accelerator pedal opening angle is large, a target vehicle speed is calculated using a read-ahead vehicle speed and, when the accelerator pedal opening angle is small, the target gear shift ratio is calculated using an actual vehicle speed.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission that performs a shift on the basis of a shift map defined by a vehicle speed Vsp and a throttle opening TVO, when the vehicle speed Vsp and the throttle opening TVO exist within a 6-7 special region, which is located within a sixth speed gear position region of the shift map and defined by a downshift line at which a downshift is performed from a seventh speed gear position serving as a maximum gear position to the sixth speed gear position and a minimum vehicle speed of an upshift line at which an upshift is performed from the sixth speed gear position to the seventh speed gear position, and this condition continues for a predetermined time period, a shift is performed to the seventh speed.

Abstract: An automatic transmission controller calculates a predicted vehicle speed with reference to a measured vehicle state variable, and calculates a target transmission ratio with reference to the predicted vehicle speed, when a sensor input signal is normal which carries information about the measured vehicle state variable. The automatic transmission controller calculates the predicted vehicle speed with reference to a first alternative value instead of the measured vehicle state variable, and calculates the target transmission ratio with reference to a second alternative value instead of the predicted vehicle speed, when the sensor input signal is abnormal.

Abstract: In a shift control device for an automatic transmission according to this invention, when the engine load increases such that a shift to a first gear position on a low speed side of a current gear position is required, control is performed to calculate an estimated vehicle speed following the elapse of a time required to shift to the first gear position and set a second gear position from the estimated vehicle speed and the engine load on the basis of the shift map. When the first gear position is on the low speed side of the second gear position, a shift is performed to a gear position on a high speed side of the first gear position.

Abstract: In a shift control device for an automatic transmission according to this invention, when the engine load increases such that a kickdown is required, and a gear position calculated in accordance with the shift map from an operating condition defined by a look-ahead vehicle speed at a predetermined future time is lower than a current gear position and the look-ahead vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined vehicle speed, control is performed to shift to a higher gear position than the target gear position.

Abstract: A buckle device including a lock bar pushed by a release button for moving to a second position allowing rotation in a direction to release the engagement of a hook member, and a lock member rotated by a release button toward an unlock position at the time of releasing operation of a tongue plate. When the lock bar is butted against a first engagement part where the lock member is at a lock position, the lock member is rotated toward and held at the lock position, and a second engagement part enters a movement area of the lock bar, while an inertial force of the tongue plate in the direction of insertion thereof is exerted at a value exceeding a predetermined value, the release button is butted against a third engagement part to prevent the lock member from being rotated toward the unlock position to hold the lock position.

Abstract: A buckle device (1) comprises a lock bar (30) which is pushed by a release button (50) to be moved to a second position P2 for allowing the rotation in a direction to release the engagement of a hook member (20), and a lock member (60) which is rotated by a release button (50) toward an unlock position at the time of releasing operation of a tongue plate (2), and so forth. When the lock bar (30) is butted against a first engagement part (63) in a state where the lock member (60) is positioned at a lock position, the lock member (60) is rotated toward and held at the lock position, and a second engagement part (64) enters a movement area of the lock bar (30), while in the case where an inertial force of the tongue plate (2) in the direction of insertion thereof is exerted at a value exceeding a predetermined value, the release button (50) is butted against a third engagement part (66) to prevent the lock member (60) from being rotated toward the unlock position to hold the lock position.
