Abstract

A transmission which includes input and output shafts and first and second step-down devices for producing various step-down ratios. The first and second step-down devices are associated with first and second controllable clutches, respectively, in order to connect, in a torque-transmitting manner, the respective step-down device between the input shaft and the output shaft. A first gear of the transmission is obtained by actuating the first clutch and a second gear by actuating the second clutch. A method of controlling a gearshift, from the first gear to the second gear, includes the steps of determining operating condition parameters of the transmission; and determining optimized degrees of actuation of the clutches by a search process related to a transmission model that determines the degrees of actuation on the basis of operating condition parameters in relation to a predetermined optimization criterion. The transmission model is based on slip.
