Abstract: Given a method for controlling the trailing throttle of automotive drives, in which, assuming an automatic transmission whose control is equipped with various shift programs, the specific shift program being selected automatically as a function of the actuation of the accelerator and the transmission being in operative connection with a selector lever to be operated by the driver, for the selection of factors influencing the drag torque of the automotive drive and therefore for the drivetrain control or transmission-shift control, a specific range of a drag torque is assigned an operating mode, in which, after the system start-up and the setting of the selector lever in the permanent position for forward gear D, steps for controlling the drivetrain or the transmission are carried out individually or in combination, in each case according to the drag torque demanded, but also according to the coasting operation.

Abstract: A coordinated control of a drive train during a gear shift is described. The core of the control lies in establishing an optimal system trajectory for the states of the internal combustion engine and the clutch for the shift operation and in supplying this trajectory to a subordinate control and regulation. Here, the determination of the optimal system trajectory occurs as a function of the stipulations of a higher-order system for controlling the drive train. In particular, it is provided for the optimal system trajectory to be adapted to the driving situation, the driver type, the operating conditions of the assemblies, and the state of the assemblies themselves. Here, the determination of the optimal system trajectory occurs via a real-time optimization algorithm that is executed during driving operation. In this manner, optimal shift operation is attained under all operating conditions that unites a high degree of comfort with a low loss of traction.
