GRADE LOGIC BRAKING SYSTEM |
| 摘要 |
A vehicle and methods of braking the vehicle on a downhill grade as automatically implemented by a computing device are disclosed. One method includes detecting application of a vehicle brake and detecting acceleration of the vehicle while the vehicle traverses the downhill grade. Based on detection of the application of the vehicle brake and detection of the acceleration of the vehicle, the method also includes sending a command to downshift a transmission of the vehicle. If, after the downshift of the transmission, the application of the vehicle brake is not detected for a threshold time, the acceleration of the vehicle falls below a threshold acceleration, or the downhill grade falls below a threshold grade, the method can further include sending a command to upshift the transmission. |

1. A method of braking a vehicle on a downhill grade, comprising:
detecting application of a vehicle brake while the vehicle traverses the downhill grade; detecting acceleration of the vehicle while the vehicle traverses the downhill grade; and based on detection of the application of the vehicle brake and detection of the acceleration of the vehicle, sending a command to downshift a transmission of the vehicle. |
