Automated transmission controller, vehicle including the automated transmission controller, and shift change process

摘要

The present invention relates to an automated transmission controller, comprising a friction clutch; a transmission having a plurality of first gears on which engaging projections are formed and a plurality of second gears on which engaging concaves to be engaged with the engaging projections are formed, the engaging projections of the first gears and the predetermined engaging concaves of the second gears engaging with each other to effect gear change; a clutch actuator for connecting and disconnecting the friction clutch; a shift actuator for executing gear change of the transmission; and a control unit for controlling the operations of the clutch actuator and the shift actuator, wherein the control unit is configured to initially operate the shift actuator to start gear change of the transmission, and then to operate the clutch actuator to start disconnection of the friction clutch at the time of shift change during running.
