Method for checking the plausibility of a lateral acceleration and a number of further input variables of a transmission shifting program of an automated transmission of a motor vehicle

A method for checking a plausibility of a lateral acceleration and a number of further input variables of a transmission shifting program of an automated transmission of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:

• measuring, over a defined route section on which the motor vehicle is moving, a lateral acceleration signal of a lateral acceleration sensor;
• calculating a mean value of the measured lateral acceleration signal;
• calculating, based on the further input variables of the transmission shifting program, a plurality of n≥2 different lateral acceleration sensor reference variables, wherein the different lateral acceleration sensor reference variables are calculated by a lateral acceleration reference model for the defined route section;
• determining, for each respective lateral acceleration sensor reference variable, a respective mean value of a calculated lateral acceleration;
• determining, by subtraction, deviations of the mean value of the measured lateral acceleration and the mean values of the calculated lateral accelerations;
• evaluating, based on a magnitude of the deviations, whether or not the measured lateral acceleration and the further input variables of the transmission shifting program, based on which the different lateral acceleration reference variables have been calculated, are plausible;
• and
• based on the evaluation, altering the transmission shifting program of the automated transmission of the motor vehicle.
