Shift through neutral control in an electrically variable transmission
A shift control for an electrically variable transmission shifts between modes through a neutral mode wherein the output is decoupled from the transmission. Normally, shifts between modes are accomplished synchronously through a duration of fixed-ratio operation. Extreme driving conditions may invoke shifts through neutral mode. Ratio violations characterized by one mode being active in a preferred input/output ratio range for another mode are handled by a shift through neutral. Similarly, rapid acceleration and deceleration conditions likely to result in undesirable engine speeds if synchronous shifting is employed are handled by a shift through neutral.
