摘要

The invention relates to a method that is dedicated to the control of an automatic gearbox (BV) of a vehicle (V) provided with a power train (GM) and a speed control system (SC) having a programmable set speed. Said method involves determining the gear to be engaged in the gearbox (BV) depending on a maximum acceleration of the vehicle (V) for the gear that is currently engaged in the gearbox (BV), the current speed of the vehicle (V), a programmed set speed of the system (SC), and an acceleration value requested by the system (SC).
