A Controller And Method To Assist Quick Gearshift Using Gearbox Position Sensor

Claims:1. A controller (110) to assist quick gearshift in a vehicle (100), said vehicle (100) comprising a gearbox position sensor (104), said controller (110) 5 is adapted to: ? receive input signals (114) from said gearbox position sensor (104); ? enable a shift assist functionality (116) by comparing received input signals (114) from said gearbox position sensor (104) and a predetermined first threshold (122); 10 ? determine rate of change in voltage of said gearbox position sensor (104) based on received input signals (114); ? activate said shift assist functionality (116) by comparing the determined rate of change in voltage of said gearbox position sensor (104) and a predetermined second threshold (124); and 15 ? actuate gearshift based on said shift assist functionality (116). 2. The controller (110) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said input signals (114) are voltage readings of said gearbox position sensor (104) over a time period. 3. The controller (110) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said controller (110) 20 calibrated with said predetermined first threshold (122) and said predetermined second threshold (124). 4. The controller (110) as claimed in claim 1, enables said shift assist functionality (116) when said input signals (114) from said gearbox position sensor (104) exceeds said predetermined first threshold (122). 5. The controller (110) as claimed in claim 1, activates said shift assist functionality (116) when the determined rate of change in voltage of said gearbox position sensor (104) exceeds said predetermined second threshold (124). 6. A method for assisting quick gearshift in a vehicle (100), said vehicle (100) comprising a controller (110), a gearbox position sensor (104), said method comprising 5 the steps of: ? receive, by said controller (110), input signals (114) from said gearbox position sensor (104); ? enable, by said controller (110), a shift assist functionality (116) by comparing received input signals (114) from said gearbox position 10 sensor (104) and a predetermined first threshold (122); ? determine, by said controller (110), rate of change in voltage of said gearbox position sensor (104) based on received input signals (114); ? activate, by said controller (110), said shift assist functionality (116) 15 by comparing the determined rate of change in voltage of said gearbox position sensor (104) and a predetermined second threshold (124); and ? actuate, by said controller (110), gear shift based on said shift assist functionality (116). 7. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein said input signals (114) are voltage readings of said gearbox position sensor (104) over a time period. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said controller (110) calibrated with said predetermined first threshold (122) and said predetermined second threshold (124). 9. The method as claimed in claim 1,wherein said controller(110) enables said shift assist functionality (116) when said input signals (114) from said gearbox position sensor (104) exceeds said predetermined first threshold (122). 10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said 5 controller(110) activates said shift assist functionality (116) when the determined rate of change in voltage of said gearbox position sensor (104) exceeds said predetermined second threshold (124). , Description:A controller (110) and method to assist quick gearshift using gearbox position sensor is disclosed. The controller (110) is adapted to receive input signals (114) from the gearbox position sensor (104), enable a shift assist functionality (116) by comparing received input signals (114) from the 5 gearbox position sensor (104) and a predetermined first threshold (122), determine rate of change in voltage of the gearbox position sensor (104) based on received input signals (114), activate the shift assist functionality (116) by comparing the determined rate of change in voltage of the gearbox position sensor (104) and 10 a predetermined second threshold (124) and actuate gearshift based on the shift assist functionality (116).
