Abstract
The vehicle longitudinal dynamics was investigated and a slope recognition method based on reference tables was proposed, to overcome the problems encountered when a vehicle with conventional automatic transmission travels on slopes. Shift strategies on uphill and downhill slopes were also developed. The intelligent slope shift strategy is significant because it can improve the performance on slopes of not only conventional automatic transmissions, but also many other vehicle control systems, such as engine management systems, electric power steering, and shock absorbers.
