Abstract:
1. An automated manual transmission control apparatus comprising: a clutch capable of establishing and interrupting a transmission path of a driving force of a driving power source; a transmission including: an input shaft rotational speed sensor capable of detecting a rotational speed of the input shaft; a controlling means for controlling, on a basis of results detected by the input shaft rotational speed sensor, engaging and disengaging operations of the clutch and gear engagement operations in the transmission; a temporarily engaging means for performing a temporal engagement operation by which, when the controlling means determines that an operation for selecting the reverse shift stage was performed, in a condition where the clutch is being disengaged to interrupt the transmission path of the driving force of the driving power source to the transmission, the synchromesh mechanism for the at least one forward shift stage gear is temporarily frictionally engaged with the at least one forward shift stage gear, wherein the input shaft is operated from the side of the output shaft; and a reverse driving determining means for preventing a shift operation into the reverse shift stage when a vehicle speed obtained from the results of the input shaft rotational speed sensor exceeds a specified value at a time of the temporal engagement operation.
