  • Patent number: 6134496
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the control of the shifting process of a vehicle with electro-hydraulically actuatable friction elements for the shifting-over between different transmission stages in a vehicle with at least in addition a drive engine in which a current actual value is determined for at least one magnitude characterizing the shift process in each shifting process; the actual value is compared with an establishable and/or storable desired value; on deviation of the actual value from the desired value, the control pressure for the at least indirect influencing of the magnitude characterizing the switching process is adaptively changed by a determinable, calculatable or prescribable first correction value for the achieving of an optimal shifting behavior and the course of the altered magnitude is storable in each case as new characteristic curve of the desired values.

  • Patent number: 6095948
    Abstract: A process is provided for operating a vehicle transmission with preferably electrohydraulically actuatable friction elements for shifting between different transmission steps, in a vehicle with at least one drive engine in which an actual value of at least one of the quantities characterizing the shift process is determined for each shift process, which actual value is compared with a theoretical value that can be established and stored. When the actual value deviates from the theoretical value, a regulated quantity for at least direct influencing is changed by a correction value that can be established. For each shift process, the time duration for the output of a gear shift signal up to the beginning of the synchronization process and/or the change of the drive rpm during this time period is determined as a first and/or second actual value of the quantity characterizing the process.

  • Patent number: 5995896
    Abstract: A method for the control of shifting processes in a vehicle transmission from an initial gear to the next higher target gear includes the steps of continuously determining the vehicle acceleration (a) and the driven rpm (n.sub.2) behind the vehicle transmission. A shifting process is triggered when the acceleration value (a) and the essentially simultaneously recorded driven rpm value (n.sub.2) fall on a shifting point which lies on a shifting characteristic (n.sub.2 (a)) in an acceleration-driven rpm diagram, where the shifting characteristic (n.sub.2 (a)) has a stepped course with at least two break points (a.sub.-- max; a.sub.-- min) and the slope of the shifting characteristic for acceleration values a.sub.-- min<a<a.sub.-- max is always smaller than or equal to the slope of the shifting characteristic for acceleration values a.ltoreq.a.sub.-- min or a.gtoreq.a.sub.-- max. In other words, the following applies:.linevert split.n.sub.2 (a.sub.1).linevert split..ltoreq..linevert split.n.sub.2 (a.sub.
