The Adaptive Transmission Control system is found only on automatic and sequential transmissions and is based on a fuzzy-logic processor which can recognize individual styles of driving and adapts transmission shift parameters accordingly. It usually uses a microprocessor to read data from various sensors, and with the help of a complex algorithm it decides when to upshift or downshift.
It is very helpful especially since the fuzzy logic processor allows it to actually memorize the driver’s driving habits or « learn » the environment conditions (for example, on slippery surfaces it will change gears more rarely).
