Apparatus for controlling automatic transmission and method thereof

1. An automatic transmission control apparatus comprising:

an engine generating a power by a combustion of fuel;

an automatic transmission provided with a friction element including a clutch and a brake and changing the power generated in the engine into a desired torque depending on a speed by an engagement and release of the friction element to be output;

an accelerator pedal position sensor detecting a position signal of an accelerator pedal; and

a controller determining whether a vehicle is in a rapid acceleration state from the position signal of the accelerator pedal detected from the accelerator pedal position sensor and correcting a control hydraulic pressure of the friction element when the vehicle is in the rapid acceleration state,

wherein the controller determines the rapid acceleration state of vehicle by using an interpolation signal, and the position signal of the accelerator pedal detected from the accelerator pedal position sensor is interpolated.

2. The automatic transmission control apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the controller calculates a correction hydraulic pressure that a correction amount is subtracted from the control hydraulic pressure when a difference of the position signal of the accelerator pedal in a shift timing and the interpolation signal is a predetermined value or more and releases the friction element depending on the correction hydraulic pressure.

3. The automatic transmission control apparatus of claim 2 , wherein: the controller increases the correction amount step-by-step as the difference of the position signal of the accelerator pedal and the interpolation signal is increased.

4. The automatic transmission control apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the controller filters the accelerator pedal position signal through a low pass filter to calculate the interpolation signal.

5. The automatic transmission control apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the correction hydraulic pressure is stored to the controller in a map data type depending on a difference of the change amount of the accelerator pedal and the interpolation signal.

6. An automatic transmission control method for a vehicle comprising:

detecting a position signal of an accelerator pedal detected from an accelerator pedal position sensor;

calculating an engine torque depending on the accelerator pedal position signal;

setting a control hydraulic pressure for release of a friction element of the automatic transmission depending on the engine torque;

determining whether the vehicle is in a rapid acceleration state from the position signal of the accelerator pedal;

calculating a correction hydraulic pressure, wherein the control hydraulic pressure is corrected when the vehicle is in the rapid acceleration state; and

releasing the friction element depending on the correction hydraulic pressure.

7. The automatic transmission control method of claim 6 , wherein:

in the step determining whether the vehicle is in the rapid acceleration state, the rapid acceleration state of the vehicle is determined by using the position signal of the accelerator pedal and an interpolation signal, wherein the position signal of the accelerator pedal is interpolated.

8. The automatic transmission control method of claim 7 , wherein the rapid acceleration state of the vehicle is determined when a difference of the position signal of the accelerator pedal and the interpolation signal is a predetermined value or more in a shift timing.

9. The automatic transmission control method of claim 7 , wherein:

the correction hydraulic pressure is calculated by subtracting a correction amount from the control hydraulic pressure.

10. The automatic transmission control method of claim 9 , wherein:

the correction amount is increased as a difference of the position signal of the accelerator pedal and the interpolation signal is increased.
