Abstract:
1. A method of controlling an automated transmission of a motor vehicle having an engine controlled by an accelerator pedal whose degree of depression is expressed as a pedal-depression value, wherein a gear-shifting strategy of the transmission is determined based on at least one shift characteristic, said method comprising the steps of determining at least one of the pedal-depression value and a driver-demanded torque which is calculated by an engine control unit, evaluating the at least one shift characteristic by taking said at least one of the pedal-depression value and driver-demanded torque into account as an input quantity for said evaluation, and determining the gear-shifting strategy based on said evaluation, wherein said pedal-depression value and driver-demanded torque are taken into account by using a mixed quantity composed of the pedal-depression value and driver-demanded torque, and in said evaluation of the at least one shift characteristic, the mixed quantity is entered as an argument.
