Patent ID: 6961647

Claim:
A method of controlling a vehicle comprising a driving power source for generating a driving force; a gear type transmission having a plurality of gear trains; and a plurality of torque transmitting means arranged between an input shaft and an output shaft of said transmission, at least one of said torque transmitting means being a friction transmitting means, shifting being performed by controlling said friction transmitting means when the shifting is performed from one of the gear trains to another of the gear trains, the method comprising the steps of: estimating or detecting an input torque to said transmission; detecting an output rotation speed of said transmission; setting a target shift torque during shifting using at least one parameter among parameters expressing a state of said driving power source or said transmission; and controlling an output shaft torque of said transmission and an input rotation speed of said transmission during shifting by setting a command value to said friction transmitting means using said target shift torque and said input torque, wherein said target shift torque is set by a target shift time set by at least one parameter among the parameters expressing the state of said driving power source or said transmission; a target increasing time set by at least one parameter among the parameters expressing the state of said driving power source or said transmission; a target decreasing time set by at least one parameter among the parameters expressing the state of said driving power source or said transmission; and at least one parameter among the parameters expressing the state of said driving power source or said transmission.
