Abstract
A method (200) for open-loop control of a gearbox (100) that includes a first and a second proportionally controllable shift element (A-F) is provided. The method (200) includes disengaging the first shift element (A-F) of the gearbox (100) according to a first control profile and engaging the second shift element (A-F) of the gearbox (100) according to a second control profile. The first control profile comprises a variable portion (330) which is increased between a first point in time (t4), when a gradient (335) of the rotational speed of an input shaft of the gearbox (100) reaches a predetermined threshold value, and a second point in time (t5), when the gradient (335) flattens.

A method (200) for open-loop control of a gearbox (100) that includes a first proportionally controllable shift element (A-F) and a second proportionally controllable shift element (A-F), the method (200) comprising:
- disengaging the first shift element (A-F) of the gearbox (100) according to a first control profile;
- and
- engaging the second shift element (A-F) of the gearbox (100) according to a second control profile,
- wherein the first control profile comprises a variable portion (330) which increases between a first point in time (t4) and a second point in time (t5), a gradient (335) of a rotational speed of an input shaft of the gearbox (100) reaches a predetermined threshold value at the first point in time (t4), and the gradient (335) flattens at the second point in time (t5).
A device (125) for open-loop control of a gearbox (100) that includes a first proportionally controllable shift element (A-F) and a second proportionally controllable shift element (A-F), the device comprising:
- a first interface for connection to the first shift element (A-F);
- a second interface for connection to the second shift element (A-F);
- a processing unit (125);
- and
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processing unit (125), cause the processing unit (125) to perform operations comprising
- disengaging the first shift element (A-F) according to a first control profile;
- and
- engaging the second shift element (A-F) according to a second control profile,
- wherein the first control profile comprises a variable portion (330) which increases between a first point in time (t4) and a second point in time (t5), a gradient (335) of the rotational speed of an input shaft of the gearbox (100) reaches a predetermined threshold value at the first point in time (t4), and the gradient (335) flattens at the second point in time (t5).
