Adaptive automated transmission downshift control

A method/system for controlling downshifting in an automated mechanical transmission system (10) utilized on a vehicle. When a downshift from a currently engaged ratio (GR) is required (ES1) and then single downshifts (GRTARGET=GR-1) are evaluated in sequence. If throttle demand is high (THL>REF)...

Zusammenfassung:A method/system for controlling downshifting in an automated mechanical transmission system (10) utilized on a vehicle. When a downshift from a currently engaged ratio (GR) is required (ES1) and then single downshifts (GRTARGET=GR-1) are evaluated in sequence. If throttle demand is high (THL>REF), skip downshifts are evaluated to determine if they can be completed at no greater than a reference value (ESDES=ESDES-DEFAULT+offset), which is higher than otherwise (ES=ESDES-DEFAULT) allowed.
