Abstract: The invention relates to a method for prediction and identification of journey situations. A method for prediction of journey situations has the following steps: defining a plurality of standard journey situations, with each standard journey situation being characterized by a group of driving state parameters; defining a plurality of route state parameters in order to describe the state of a journey route; determining an association rule which associates in each case one group of values of the route state parameters with a standard journey situation; recording of an intended journey route; determining values of the route state parameters for the intended journey route; and associating the intended journey route with one of the standard journey situations on the basis of the association rule.

Abstract: Control method for effecting a gear shift in a stepped automatic transmission with an input shaft and an output shaft for transmitting power between two inertia components at distinct speed ratios with a first power transmission path and a second power transmission path being provided with a high clutch having an adjustable torque transmitting capacity TH and a low clutch having an adjustable torque transmitting capacity TL respectively. The method includes the steps of determining a gear set input torque Tin to be transmitted by the transmission in the direction from the input shaft to the output shaft and controlling the torque transmitting capacities TH and TL in dependency on the gear set input torque Tin to be transmitted such that: a) if Tin>=0 then TH=Tin and TL=0 b) if Tin<0 then TH=0 and TL=Ti.
