SYSTEM AND METHOD (VERSIONS) FOR IMPROVING MECHANICAL GEAR SHIFTING Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B60W30/19 F16H61/04 F16H63/50 B60W10/06 B60W10/30 

FIELD: vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: engine control method includes receiving sensor input by controller; predicting by the controller the mechanical gear shifting in response to the sensor input signal and increasing air flow by engine and load applied to engine by controller based on said prediction. In another version, the load applied to the engine is reduced based on the said prediction in response to the accelerator pedal depressing.

EFFECT: reduced time of gear shifting in mechanical gearbox.
