Abstract
A system for controlling an automated mechanical change-gear transmission system including a processing unit for processing inputs according to predetermined logic rules to determine currently engaged and allowably engaged gear ratios and throttle positions, for changing between automatic and semi-automatic transmission modes, for issuing command output signals to non-manually controlled operators, and for temporarily selectively overriding a pre-selected transmission mode if either cruise control or power take off are activated.
