Method and system for determining engine operation parameter values during a gear shift operation

A system for determining engine operation parameter values during and/or after a gear shift operation prior to performing said gear shift operation, said system comprising:

• means for determining initial conditions prior to the gear shift operation, said initial conditions comprising at least torque demand and engine speed;
• means for providing said initial conditions to an engine operation simulation model;
• means for providing a torque development course as well as an engine speed development course during the intended gear shift operation to said engine operation simulation model;
• and
• means for determining desired engine operation parameter values by means of said engine operation simulation model based upon the information thus provided to said engine operation simulation model.
