Method for performing shifts in a dog clutch element

A method for performing shifts in a dog clutch element of a transmission system of a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid vehicle having driven wheels, an internal combustion engine with a crankshaft, an input shaft connected to the crankshaft, an output shaft connected at least indirectly to the driven wheels, an electric machine being in engagement with the input shaft, and an automatic transmission or a transmission which is shiftable in an automated manner between the input shaft and the output shaft, the transmission having the dog clutch element for a releasable coupling of two transmission elements, which comprises the steps of:

• during a desired shifting of the dog clutch element, a torque of the input shaft is adapted via the electric machine, and therefore a reduced load prevails in a region of the dog clutch element and the dog clutch element is disengaged;
• subsequently braking or accelerating the internal combustion engine to a desired target rotational speed via the electric machine;
• and
• subsequently engaging the dog clutch element when or shortly before the desired target rotational speed is reached.
