Abstract

A device for controlling an automated transmission of a motor vehicle engine-transmission unit adapted to deliver a torque setpoint signal to be applied to wheels of the motor vehicle including two static and dynamic components produced based on input data delivered by an input unit. The input data includes a recorded list of parameters representing the driver's wishes, the motor vehicle state, and the motor vehicle surroundings. The device includes a first unit capable of calculating a dynamic torque component not adapted to a slope and/or load situation; a second unit for adaptation to the slope and/or load situation delivering a dynamic torque component adapted to the slope and/or load situation; a third unit capable of calculating a static torque component not adapted to the slope and/or load situation; and a fourth unit for adaptation to the slope and/or load situation delivering a static torque component adapted to the slope and/or load situation.
