Patent ID: 7444219

Claim:
A device for evaluating parameters and selecting and implementing adjustment of gear ratios for a vehicle, the device comprising: a microprocessor ( 8 ) being coupled to a drive train ( 1 ) of a vehicle via an engine actuating element ( 9 ), a clutch actuating element ( 10 ) and a transmission actuating element ( 11 ), the microprocessor ( 8 ) receiving at least one of operating parameters ( 5 ), driving parameters ( 6 ) and vehicle and transmission parameters ( 7 ) and generates output signals from the at least one of the operating parameters ( 5 ), the driving parameters ( 6 ) and the vehicle and transmission parameters ( 7 ) based on at least one of predetermined algorithms, parameters and diagrams; the output signals being sent to at least one of the engine actuating element ( 9 ), the clutch actuating element ( 10 ) and the transmission actuating element ( 11 ) for controlling operation of the drive train ( 1 ); and the operating parameters ( 5 ), the driving parameters ( 6 ) and the vehicle and transmission parameters ( 7 ) including at least one of an actuation frequency of an actuator and a service life of a gear to be engaged.
