Shift control method and apparatus for vehicle
A shift control method and apparatus for a vehicle is described. The shift control method for a vehicle having an oil pump includes determining whether the vehicle satisfies an Idle Stop and Go (ISG) learning condition, measuring, when the vehicle satisfies the ISG learning condition, a shift time of a transmission when a driving state of the vehicle is changed from an idling state to a restart state, comparing the measured shift time with a predetermined reference shift time, and adjusting a pressure of oil supplied to a solenoid of the transmission from the oil pump according to the compared result. Thus, it is possible to reduce a variation in shift time required when the ISG vehicle using a mechanical oil pump in place of an electrical oil pump is restarted.
1. A shift control method for a vehicle having an oil pump, comprising:
determining whether the vehicle satisfies an Idle Stop and Go (ISG) learning condition;
measuring, when the vehicle satisfies the ISG learning condition, a shift time of a transmission when an operation state of the transmission is changed so that the driving state of the vehicle is changed from an idling state to a restart state in which the vehicle starts moving;
comparing the measured shift time with a predetermined reference shift time;
adjusting a pressure of oil supplied to a solenoid of the transmission from the oil pump according to the compared result,
wherein the determining whether the vehicle satisfies the ISG learning condition, comprises:
detecting an oil temperature of the vehicle, an engine speed, and a vehicle speed; and
determining whether the detected oil temperature, engine speed, and vehicle speed are in a predetermined reference range;
measuring a remaining amount of oil left in the solenoid when the vehicle is in the idling state; and
adjusting the pressure of oil supplied to the solenoid according to the remaining amount of oil.
2. The shift control method according to claim 1 , wherein the shift time is a time until the transmission begins to shift gears and the gear shifting is completed.
3. The shift control method according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the pressure of oil comprises:
increasing the pressure of oil when the shift time is greater than the reference shift time; and
decreasing the pressure of oil when the shift time is equal to or less than the reference shift time.
