Abstract:
Described herein is a control system for a vehicle with an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) having a ball planetary variator (CVP), providing a smooth and controlled operation. In some embodiments, the vehicle is a fork lift truck. An operator commands a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal, a direction switch (or gear selector), and a hydraulic lever, which are evaluated by the control system to determine a current operating state of the vehicle. Some operating states include, forward drive, reverse drive, vehicle braking, automatic deceleration, inching, power reversal, vehicle hold, and park, among others. The control system is configured to determine a commanded engine speed based at least in part on the hydraulic lever signal.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the carrier assembly includes a first carrier member operably coupled to a second carrier member, and wherein commanding a change in the position of the shift actuator includes controlling the relative position of the first carrier member and the second carrier member.
