Abstract
A method for modifying a defined adaptive driving strategy, which is stored in the control system for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, for adaptation to another type of driver with a different driving style, consists in that the parameters used for the driving strategy are modified by the other driver, the data for this being input to the transmission electronics via an input unit and an interface with the electronics.
Claims24
A method of modifying a predefined adaptive driving strategy stored in a transmission electronics system of an automatic transmission for a motor vehicle as a function of a plurality of vehicle parameters defining a first driving style of a first human driver, the method comprising the steps of:
- modifying a first plurality of stored vehicle parameters representing at least a first driving style by at least one of:
- manually modifying at least certain of the first plurality of stored vehicle parameters to form a second plurality of stored vehicle parameters representing a second driving style by manual input of vehicle parameter data under direct control of a human driver;
- and
- automatically modifying at least certain of the first plurality of stored vehicle parameters to form a second plurality of stored vehicle parameters representing a second driving style by:
- determining vehicle parameter data of the second human driver while the second human driver is driving the vehicle;
- and
- inputting the vehicle parameter data of the second human driver to modify the vehicle parameters representing the first driving style to form the vehicle parameters of the second driving style;
- and
- storing the modified vehicle parameters representing the first driving style as the vehicle parameters representing the second driving style.
