Abstract
The controller for a drive train, with engine and transmission controllers has: a detection circuit with which respective driving situations of the motor vehicle and driver's characteristics are determined, and a control device for the clutch which, when the motor vehicle starts, is adapted to the driving situation which is determined and/or the driver's characteristics. When the motor vehicle starts (accelerates from standstill), the control device transfers, to the engine controller, signals with which the engine speed is stored according to stored characteristic curves.
