Abstract
In a control system ( ) for an automatic motor vehicle transmission ( ), with a number of gear selection modules ( ), each of which is respectively designed to preset a target gear (zg) for a gear change depending on a number of operating parameters, through a suitable use of gear change prevention means, a particularly simple and transparent adaptation of the vehicle behavior to different driver requests should also be possible. To that end, the invention provides a number of analysis modules ( ), each of which, in a respectively predeterminable operating situation, generates a suppression signal (u) for preventing a gear change, where each analysis module ( ) is associated with a respective filter element ( ), which enables the transmission of the respective suppression signal (u), depending on which gear selection module ( ) has preset the target gear (zg). Preferably, a central control module ( ) contains information, in the form of an applicable matrix for each analysis module ( ), which indicates the target gear (zg)-presetting gear selection module ( ) for which the suppression signal (u) is to be transmitted.
