Ferrari’s experimental 599 has the car’s V12 engine coupled to a seven-speed automated gearbox which also contains an electric motor.

Optimal shifting in an electronically controlled automatic transmission turns out to be a nonlinear function between the vehicle state and gear position, and is usually described through a data table.

By calculating and analyzing the non-linear relationship between the status of cars with automatic transmission and the optimum shift based on neural-network, the shift schedule model can be obtained.
