Patent ID: 6882919

Claim:
A shift control method of an automatic transmission, comprising: calculating a shift-pattern adjusting coefficient by a modular neural network based on a plurality of input signals input from a plurality of detectors; determining if shifting is required based on an adjusted shift-pattern, the adjusted shift-pattern being adjusted based on the shift-pattern adjusting coefficient; calculating a target shift-speed when shifting is required based on the adjusted shift-pattern; and generating a shifting signal for shifting to the target shift-speed; wherein said calculating a shift-pattern adjusting coefficient by a modular neural network comprises; calculating a driving propensity index by a neural network on the basis of at least one first signal selected from the plurality of input signals; calculating a slope index and an effective slope index by a neural network on the basis of at least one second signal selected from the plurality of input signals; calculating a satisfaction index by a neural network on the basis of at least one third signal selected from the plurality of input signals; and calculating the shift-pattern adjusting coefficient on the basis of the driving propensity index, the slope index, the effective slope index, and the satisfaction index.
