Systems and methods for assisting in acceleration of a vehicle during vehicle re-acceleration

摘要

In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for assisting in acceleration of a vehicle during re-acceleration. In one embodiment, a system comprises one or more sensors that monitor vehicular conditions, which are transmitted to and processed by an electronic controller. When the processed signals indicate re-acceleration of the vehicle, the electronic controller activates an aggressive schedule or aggressive throttle map that defines instructions for downshifting a transmission gear position or for increasing a throttle so as to assist in acceleration of the vehicle during re-acceleration. The electronic controller activates the instructions when one or more vehicular conditions of accelerator pedal depression exceed a predefined value during re-acceleration. The electronic controller selects the instructions most appropriate for assisting in acceleration according to the processed signals. The signals are transmitted to a transmission system that downshifts the transmission gear position or to an engine that increases the throttle.
