Abstract:
1. A method for controlling at least one of an automated clutch and an automated transmission in a motor vehicle, wherein the method is performed by an electronic clutch management system and comprises the steps of: determining a start-up function that depends on predetermined input parameters which include at least one of the group consisting of accelerator pedal angle, engine rpm-rate, transmission input rpm-rate, and engine torque; delivering a target value for a clutch torque as an output parameter of the start-up function; dividing the start-up function substantially into at least two phases by means of a factor calculation, wherein in a first phase of said two phases the engine rpm-rate is substantially regulated to follow a targeted starting rpm-rate, and in a second phase of said two phases, the engine rpm-rate is synchronized with the transmission input rpm-rate.
