Transmission control device for vehicle
The present invention provides a transmission control device for a vehicle capable of changing a threshold of a shift map for determining shift-up, thereby preventing occurrence of the shift-up during depression of an accelerator and preventing occurrence of a torque interruption. In a transmission control device for a vehicle 1 including a T/M-ECU 50 which automatically performs shift control for switching a plurality of shift gears of a transmission 20 for shift-up or shift-down, the T/M-ECU 50 has a shift threshold setting unit 54 which sets a shift threshold to be used for the shift control, on the basis of an operation plan or a surrounding state of the vehicle 1 , and the shift threshold setting unit 54 sets the shift threshold to perform the shift control on the transmission 20 so as not to perform the shift-up of the transmission 20 during acceleration of the vehicle 1.

the presence or absence of the other vehicle and the distance or the relative speed between the vehicle and the other vehicle, measured by the measurement unit, are used to determine the surrounding state.
2. The transmission control device for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the shift threshold setting unit is configured to set the shift threshold, on the basis of an upper limit vehicle speed of the vehicle to be predicted during an acceleration period until the vehicle starts to accelerate and then reduces an acceleration amount.
