Abstract
A method for controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle. The method includes determining a torque of an engine of the vehicle; performing at least one transmission operation comprising actuating a clutch of the transmission by increasing or decreasing a pressure of transmission fluid routed to the clutch; during actuating: determining an input speed and output speed of the clutch; determining that the clutch is slipping; while the clutch is slipping, recording the pressure of transmission fluid routed to the clutch; calculating a torque transmitted by the clutch; associating the pressure of the transmission fluid routed to the clutch with the torque transmitted by the clutch to generate a clutch pressure-torque pairing; iteratively recording the clutch pressure-torque pairing for torque values; continuously calculating an adaptive pressure-torque function of the clutch based on clutch pressure-torque pairings; and controlling the transmission based on the adaptive pressure-torque function of the clutch.
