ABSTRACT:
To obtain a flexible transmission system which can be adjusted to the meet the individual desires of a driver, the choice of the desired value of the rate of revolution of the primary axle in the system, based on the current position of an accelerator pedal, and based on the current rate of revolution of the secondary axle of the system, is influenced, whereby several sub ranges are composed from the range of possible desired rate of revolution values of the primary axle, so that the possible positional values of the accelerator pedal can be combined with one of the sub ranges, to choice. A sub range preferably serves as a model for a desired type of driving program. If desired, the boundary values of the sub range can be continuously adjusted through the use of potentiometers which are operated by the driver. To assist in the realization of a simple-to-implement digital construction, the sub range values are stored in a memory.
