SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INHIBITING TOP GEAR AT WINDING ROAD DRIVING

摘要

A control system having at least one sensor collecting data from a vehicle component such as a steering wheel. A processor determines if the data collected from the sensor is above or equal to a predetermined level. If the processor determines that the data is above a predetermined level, the processor indicates to the controller that the data is above that predetermined level and requires a prevention of upshifting of the transmission. A method of including controlling the transmission of a vehicle by a control system, sensing at least one vehicle property by a sensor in acquiring data relating to that property, storing the data in a data storage unit, determining if the data is above a predetermined level and sending a signal to a transmission of the vehicle if the data is above a predetermined level thereby preventing upshift of the transmission to the top two gears.

主权项

1. A control system for use in a vehicle, the control system comprising:
at least one sensor, the sensor collecting data from the a vehicle component; a data storage unit, the data storage unit storing data collected from the sensor; a processor to determine if the data is above or equal to a predetermined level by comparing the data to the predetermined level the processor in communication with a controller connected to a transmission, if the processor determines that the data is above or equal to the predetermined level, the processor communicates to the controller that the data is at or above the predetermined level, the controller communicates to the transmission to prevent upshifting of the transmission to the top two gears.
