Transmission gear change characteristic curves, relating speed and loading, are stored in a memory. The digitally stored data are processed in a data processing unit connected to a synchronization and logic unit which controls a gear change control stage, actually controlling the gear shifting. The data processing unit compares output speed of the transmission with the characteristic curves stored in the memory relating speed and loading, and optimum transmission gear range, while additionally considering load signals derived from the engine to which the transmission is connected. Preferably, the entire unit is synchronized by output pulses derived from the output speed of the transmission, with prohibited states and gear changes being provided for to prevent shifting if the actual speed exceeds or recedes below critical levels. |
