Abstract:
1. A method for controlling the operation of an automatic transmission stage and of a clutch coacting with said automatic transmission stage, the method comprising the steps of: assigning a variator controller to said automatic transmission stage and a contact-force control to said clutch; determining a torque force reserve for said clutch and for said automatic transmission stage in dependence upon recognized and classifiable driving situations; supplying said torque force reserve for said clutch to an input quantity (M supplying said torque force reserve for said automatic transmission stage to said input quantity (M forming respective output signals of the contact-force control and the variator controller; wherein the output signals of the contact-force control represent contact forces (Fk) which act on parts of said clutch; and, wherein output signals of the variator controller represent contact forces (F
