A device for balancing journeys of motor vehicles in order to form a vehicle train includes a guiding vehicle and at least one following vehicle, which is longitudinally and laterally guided by the guiding vehicle. The device includes a user unit, which is designed to capture data of a journey of a motor vehicle, a radio unit designed to receive data of an additional journey of at least one additional motor vehicle, a balancing unit which exchanged data with the user unit and the radio unit and is designed to output, at the user unit, a correspondence between the captured data of the journey of the motor vehicle and the received data of the additional journey of the at least one additional motor vehicle, the data including a route and associated driving times of the journey.

Technology for balancing journeys of motor vehicles

A method operates a vehicle having an acquisition device for acquiring defined route section data of an upcoming route section to be passed through via the vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle. Accordingly, the route section data, which are acquired by the acquisition device are evaluated in an evaluation device with respect to the wear reduction potential of a vehicle-side wearing part for the upcoming route section to be passed through such that, to reduce and/or optimize the wear of the wearing part. An actuating parameter, in particular an actuating time and/or an actuating duration, is predetermined for the wearing part in the upcoming route section to be passed through. An auxiliary device which supports the wearing part in its action is activated in the upcoming route section to be passed through in accordance with at least one predefined auxiliary device parameter.
