An electronic shift control apparatus includes a shift dial that is operated by a driver to select an R-range, an N-range, and a D-range, a P-range motor that is operated to select a P-range, and a haptic motor that generates a haptic signal. When a driver shifts into a specific shift range of a vehicle by operating the shift dial or the P-range button, the haptic signal is configured to be transmitted to the driver.

Electronic shift control apparatus

An electronic shift control apparatus may include a shift dial that a user operates to select an R-range, an N-range (Nd-range and Nr-range), and a D-range, a P-range button which is operated to select a P-range, and a haptic motor that generates a haptic signal. When a driver shifts into a specific shifting range (R-range) of a vehicle by operating the shift dial, a haptic signal may be transmitted to the driver.

A rattle reduction device for a dial type shifting apparatus is provided and includes a damper provided to be fixed to a main housing, and a protrusion formed on a component configured to rotate with respect to the main housing and configured to reduce a return rotation speed of a shift dial by contacting the damper when the shift dial returns from a position of a Nd stage or a D stage to a Null stage or returns from a position of a Nr stage or a R stage to the Null stage, thereby reducing rattle.

Rattle reduction device for dial type shifting apparatus

An ambient light device for a dial type shifting apparatus is provided. The ambient light device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to a main housing, a light source fixed to the PCB, a light guide coupled to the main housing and configured to deliver light of the light source, and a light emitting mechanism provided in a shift dial coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing and configured to reflect the light of the light source delivered through the light guide to emit it outside of the shift dial in an ambient light form.

Ambient light device for dial type shifting apparatus

A dial type shift control apparatus for an electronic shift system is provided. The dial type shift control apparatus includes a main housing having a boss portion protruding upward, a bearing fitted to an outside of the boss portion, a rotator fitted to an outside of the bearing, and a shift dial coupled to the rotator. The shift dial covers the rotator and the bearing from above, and the shift dial is configured to rotate with the rotator when operated by a driver.

Dial type shift control apparatus for electronic shift system

A hinge bush for a vehicle pedal apparatus may include a flange connected to a cylindrical portion may include an elastic section that elastically deforms when coming in contact with the internal side of a pedal member and an inelastic section that generates a strong supporting force, whereby it is possible to remove left and right spacing of the pedal arm through the elastic section and it is also possible to increase lateral rigidity of the pedal arm through the inelastic section.

Hinge bush for vehicle pedal apparatus

A P-range engagement method of the vehicle and a device thereof are disclosed. The P-range engagement method is applied to the vehicle equipped with an electronic shift lever, and the method includes performing the vehicle stopping process based on detection of stopping of a traveling vehicle through a control device, holding wheel disks of the vehicle through a controller that is controlled by the control device, comparing the vehicle stopped time period, which is measured by the control device, with a predetermined reference value stored in the control device to determine whether the vehicle stopped time period exceeds the predetermined reference value, and upon determining that the vehicle stopped time period exceeds the predetermined reference value, determining whether conditions for performing P-range engagement are satisfied, and upon determining that the conditions for performing the P-range engagement are satisfied, completing the P-range engagement.

P-range engagement method of vehicle and control device thereof

A method for automatically controlling a shift stage may include a shift stage check operation of detecting a position of the shift stage of a vehicle, a driving and stopping sensing operation, of detecting driving state information of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in a driving or a stopping condition, a learning preparing operation, of identifying whether the shift stage is shifted from a D stage to an N stage when it is determined that the shift stage enters the stopping condition at the D stage, a learning operation, of measuring a shifting time from when the shift stage enters the stopping condition at the D stage to when the shift stage is shifted to the N stage, and a learning execution operation, of automatically shifting the shift stage from the D stage to the N stage in the stored shifting time.

Method and system for automatically controlling shift stage

A control method and system for preventing misoperation of a shift lever of a vehicle are provided. In particular, when a driver manipulates the shift lever to select an automatic transmission mode or a manual transmission mode, shifting into an unintended mode attributable to misoperation is prevented. Therefore, the control method and system improve reliability in manipulating the shift lever and provide a safe driving environment to a driver.

Method and system for preventing misoperation of shift lever

A shift control method of an electronic shift lever may include detecting a collision of a vehicle when the vehicle is in an ignition-on state, detecting a shift range of the electronic shift lever, and preventing shifting by interrupting delivery of a signal for changing the shift range to a transmission, when the signal for changing the shift range is detected within a predetermined time after the detection of the collision.

Shift control method of electronic shift lever

A safety method for a passenger of a vehicle may include a control logic for detecting a current gear position in a state where the vehicle is stopped, determining whether a passenger door and a rear seat door are open, and allowing driving in a state where the passenger door and the rear seat door are closed but limiting a vehicle drive by changing the gear position to a non-drivable gear position in a state where the passenger door or the rear seat door is open.

Safety method for passenger of vehicle

Disclosed are device and method for driving a shift lever. The device may include a control unit that sets a travel distance of the shift lever when the shift lever is manipulated to a predetermined shift stage to be different than a reference travel distance of the shift lever, which is a travel distance of the shift lever when the shift lever is manipulated to shift stages other than the predetermined shift stage. The device may further include a driving unit which restricts a travel of the shift lever or moves the shift lever depending on a setting of the control unit.

Device and method for driving shift lever

A method of displaying a driver's propensity includes: determining a current drive mode, at a plurality of predetermined times, of a vehicle that is in operation, each determined current drive mode being selected from a plurality of predetermined drive modes; calculating cumulative ratios of each determined current drive mode by accumulating in real-time ratios of the current drive mode determined at each of the plurality of predetermined times; and simultaneously displaying the cumulative ratios of each determined current drive mode and the predetermined drive modes to inform the driver of the cumulative ratios.

Method, system, and computer readable medium for displaying driver's propensity

A method of controlling a parking control device of a transmission may include a) inputting data about a state of a vehicle, b) determining, based on the data input at the step a), whether a current situation is a first situation in which an actuator of the parking control device of the transmission is to be promptly controlled, a second situation in which noise is controlled to be minimized, or a third situation which is a situation other than the first and second situations, and c) controlling a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) duty cycle required to control the actuator to different values depending on the first, second, and third situations determined at the step b), thus driving the actuator.
