Abstract
A control system for use with an electronically-controlled automatic transmission provides for accurate determination of a full stop of a vehicle. The control system includes a device for computing the vehicle speed on the basis of a signal from a vehicle speed sensor, a device for determining whether or not the brake pedal is depressed, a device for computing deceleration from a first predetermined vehicle speed to a second predetermined, extremely low vehicle speed when the brake has been determined to be depressed, and a device for determining an estimated vehicle stop time starting with detection of the extremely low vehicle speed and ending with full stop of the vehicle, the estimated vehicle stop time corresponding to the above-computed deceleration.
