i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1.
                  (v) Gear sequence i - 1, ,,, , , i - 1 shall be replaced by:
                  i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i – 1, i - 1;
                  Gear sequence i-1, i, i, i, i, i, i - 2 shall be replaced by:
                  i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 2;
                  Gear sequence i - 2, i, i, i, i, i, i - 1 shall be replaced by:
                  i - 2, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1, i - 1.
                  In all cases (i) to (v), i-1 ≥ imin shall be fulfilled.
                  (d) No upshift to a higher gear shall be performed within a deceleration phase.
                  (e) No upshift to a higher gear at the transition from an acceleration or constant speed phase to a deceleration phase shall be performed if one of the gears in the first two seconds following the end of the deceleration phase is lower than the upshifted gear or is gear 0.
                  Example:
                  If vi ≤ vi+1 and vi+2 < vi+1 and gear i = 4 and gear (i + 1 = 5) and gear (i + 2 = 5), then gear (i + 1) and gear (i + 2) shall be set to 4 if the gear for the phase following the deceleration phase is gear 4 or lower. For all following cycle trace points with gear 5 within the deceleration phase, the gear shall also be set to 4. If the gear following the deceleration phase is gear 5, an upshift shall be performed.
                  If there is an upshift during the transition and the initial deceleration phase by 2 gears, an upshift by 1 gear shall be performed instead. In this case, no further modifications shall be performed in the following gear use checks.
                  (f) Other gear modifications for deceleration phases
                  A downshift to first gear is not permitted during deceleration phases. If such a downshift would be necessary in the last part of a short trip just before a stop phase, since the engine speed would drop below nidle in 2nd gear, gear 0 shall be used instead and the gear lever shall be placed in neutral and the clutch shall be engaged.
                  If the first gear is required in a time period of at least 2 seconds immediately before a deceleration to stop, this gear should be used until the first sample of the deceleration phase. For the rest of the deceleration phase, gear 0
