Abstract
A transmission control module for a vehicle transmission includes a gear determination module, a predictive shift module, and a validation module. The gear determination module commands a first shift configuration based on an actual pedal position. The predictive shift module calculates a predicted pedal position based on the actual pedal position and commands a second shift configuration based on the predicted pedal position. The validation module validates the predicted pedal position and selectively cancels the second shift configuration based on the validation.
