Method for controlling automatic transmission of motor vehicle, involves detecting curve ahead or turn lying ahead based on information about route, and determining reference speed for detected curve

摘要

The method involves detecting a curve ahead or turn lying ahead based on information about the route, and determining a reference speed for the detected curve. A difference in speed is detected from the speed of the vehicle and the reference speed. A gear to be engaged in the automatic transmission is detected as a function of the differential speed. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for speed-dependent detection of curves or turns in a motor vehicle; and (2) an electronic transmission control system for controlling an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle.
