Driver aware adaptive shifting

摘要

An individual driving value is set as a function of an accelerator pedal position. In turn, a powertrain characteristic is set as a function of the individual driving style. The set powertrain characteristic may be modified on the basis of a feedback value corresponding to learned preferences of a driver. The modified powertrain characteristic is then either automatically implemented for operation of a powertrain or communicated as a choice for implementation. The feedback value is updated per a response to automatic implementation or choice communication.

1. A method of controlling an automotive powertrain comprising:
setting an individual driving value as a function of an accelerator pedal position; setting a powertrain characteristic as a function of the individual driving value and a preset limit; modifying the set characteristic as a function of a feedback value; operating the powertrain based on the modified characteristic; updating the feedback value per a response to the modified characteristic.
