    Abstract: System and method for adapting an automatic mechanical transmission (AMT) on a heavy vehicle. The method includes assessing at least one driving characteristic of an operator of the vehicle. Specific examples are detailed below, but in general these will be driving traits that demonstrate the driver's proficiency at executing certain driving tasks. This is taken as a predictor of his or her ability to handle and properly use advanced vehicle features that are beneficial when used properly, but that typically also have a capacity for misuse. Based on the assessment, the operator is classified as being either entitled to enhanced transmission features or not entitled to enhanced transmission features. If the classification is positive, that is the driver is classified as being entitled to enhanced transmission features; at least one enhanced transmission feature is enabled for the operator.

    Abstract: A method for operating a semi-automatic or automatic manual transmission of a heavy truck when driving at idle speed. The method includes supplying fuel to the engine of the heavy truck at a rate that facilitates engine-idle operation. In another step, the method engages the automatic or semi-automatic transmission in a gear higher than the starting gear of the transmission and permits the truck to operate at a first substantially uniform driving velocity under engine-idle power. Depending upon traffic and environmental requirements which require a slower or higher speed, the driver downshifts or upshifts the semi-automatic or automatic transmission by depressing a control pedal of the truck and then drives the truck at a second substantially uniform driving velocity under engine-idle power. For a downshift, the second substantially uniform driving velocity is less than the first substantially uniform driving velocity. For an upshift, the second substantially uniform driving velocity is greater than the first substantially uniform driving velocity.

    Abstract: A method for optimizing a braking sequence in a vehicle with automatic transmission (3) and gearbox (9) and automatic cruise control, which cruise control controls acceleration and braking to achieve a set speed, taking into account the distance to the vehicle in front. Data simulations are carried out continually of how the vehicle will be driven in the future, for a set of different combinations of engine speed at which a gear change takes place, gear change step and braking sequence, and a braking sequence with associated gear change schedule is selected that will be optimal. The vehicle is equipped with at least two different braking systems, for example service brake and auxiliary brake (48, 6). The system selects to brake primarily with the braking system that has the least tendency to wear.
