A method for adjusting a fuel mass to be injected into an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine including an intake tract, at least one cylinder, and an exhaust tract. In the method, an air mass introduced into the internal combustion engine is ascertained and a fuel mass to be injected into the internal combustion engine is determined. An air-fuel ratio in the exhaust tract of the internal combustion engine is determined which is adjusted in time. Based on the time-adjusted air-fuel ratio and the calculated fuel mass to be injected, a first wall film fuel mass is calculated and the fuel mass to be injected is adjusted based on the first wall film fuel mass.

A device and method for controlling an internal combustion engine having a catalytic converter. At least one actuating variable for the internal combustion engine is determined as a function of a system model of the catalytic converter and/or the internal combustion engine. The system model, a setpoint variable for the control and/or the actuating variable is adapted. Information about a modeled residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream from the catalytic converter is determined using the system model. Information about an acquired residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas at the output of the catalytic converter is acquired. The information about the modeled residual oxygen content is compared with the information about the acquired residual oxygen content. A measure for an adaptation requirement is determined as a function of the result of the comparison.

A filling of an exhaust gas component storage of a catalytic converter is regulated. An actual fill level of the exhaust gas component storage is ascertained using a first system model, and a base lambda setpoint value for a first control loop is predefined by a second control loop. An initial value for the base lambda setpoint value is converted into a fictitious fill level, the fictitious fill level being compared with a setpoint value for the fill level output, and the base lambda setpoint value being iteratively changed as a function of the comparison result, if a difference between the setpoint value for the fill level and the fictitious fill level is greater than a predefined degree. The base lambda setpoint value is not changed if no difference exists between the setpoint value for the fill level and the fictitious fill level.

A method for operating an internal combustion engine which has an exhaust-gas system in which a first exhaust-gas purification component and a second exhaust-gas purification component are arranged, and which has an opening-in point via which secondary air can be injected into the exhaust-gas system. The method is distinguished by the fact that an outlet concentration of the at least one exhaust-gas constituent prevailing at an outlet of the first exhaust-gas purification component is calculated by means of an outlet emissions model, and that an inlet concentration of the at least one exhaust-gas constituent prevailing at an inlet of the second exhaust-gas purification component is determined in a manner dependent on the calculated outlet concentration, and that the internal combustion engine is operated in a manner dependent on the thus determined inlet concentration of the at least one exhaust-gas constituent.

A method for regulating filling an exhaust gas component (EGC) storage of a catalytic converter (CC) in the exhaust gas (EG) of an internal combustion engine. An actual fill level (AFL) of the EGC storage is ascertained using a first system model (FSM), to which signals of a first EG sensor projecting into the EG flow upstream from the CC and detecting a concentration of the EGC and a second EG sensor, downstream from the CC and exposed to the EG, are fed. A base lambda setpoint value for a first control loop (CL) is predefined by a second CL, which is adjusted to the AFL using the AFL ascertained using the FSM when the voltage of the second EG sensor indicates a breakthrough of rich/lean EG downstream from the CC and an excessively low/high AFL of the EGC storage. Also described is a control unit to perform the method.

A method for regulating a filling of an exhaust gas component reservoir of a catalytic converter in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. An actual fill level of the exhaust gas component reservoir is ascertained using a first system model, and in which a baseline lambda setpoint for a first control loop is predefined by a second control loop in which an initial value for the baseline lambda setpoint is converted, by a second system model identical to the first system model, into a fictitious fill level; the fictitious fill level is compared with a setpoint for the fill level; and the baseline lambda setpoint is iteratively modified as a function of the comparison result. At the beginning of a coasting phase, the baseline lambda setpoint is calculated based on signals of sensors and control variables which relate to the delivery of air and/or fuel to combustion chambers.

A method for controlling a filling level of an exhaust gas component accumulator of a catalytic converter in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine where an actual filling level of the accumulator is determined with a first catalytic converter model. The method includes forming a lambda setpoint is formed, wherein a predetermined target fill level is converted into a base lambda setpoint via a second system model reverse of the first catalytic converter model, a deviation of the actual fill level from the predetermined target fill level is determined and processed to a lambda setpoint correction value via a fill level control unit, a sum of the base lambda setpoint value and the lambda setpoint value correction value is formed, and said sum is used to form a correction value, with which fuel metering to at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is influenced.

A method and to a control device for controlling a haptic accelerator pedal in a motor vehicle includes displacing a pedal lever in an actuation direction between a rest position and a maximally actuated position. The pedal lever is configured to be excited by an actuator by exerting a counter force against the actuation direction to generate a haptically perceivable signal. A current position of the pedal lever relative to a current position of the actuator is determined outside the phases for generating the haptically perceivable signal, and the actuator is subsequently controlled in such a manner that the actuator actively follows a change in the determined position of the pedal lever. The positional control is configured to prevent interfering influences on the pedal lever by the actuator.
