The prioritization method according to the present invention permits the selection of information providers independently of the selection and functioning manner of the requesting systems, for flexibilization. In a linear prioritization method according to the present invention, a list sorted by rising priority having information providers is sequentially polled, and the first information provider having a request command is selected, this request command is routed on, and the polling is ended. In an additional prioritization method according to the present invention, from a list that is not sorted, having information providers, the information provider having the maximum (minimum) request command is selected or the average request command of the requesters is ascertained. Preferably, the prioritization method according to the present invention is able to be executed using a computer system having a modular system construction.

Prioritization method of information transmitters, particularly for executing the coordinated drive train control of a motor vehicle

A device and a method implementable therewith for regulating the driving speed of at least one vehicle, having an electric motor/generator connected or connectable to a drive train for at least one wheel as a function of at least its actual speed and setpoint speed. The device includes a control unit for controlling the torque of the electric motor/generator, an arrangement for driving the electric motor/generator, an arrangement for recording the actual speed of the vehicle and an arrangement for preselecting the setpoint speed of the vehicle. In the device, the electric motor/generator is usable in generator operation to generate a braking torque and in engine operation to generate a driving torque.

Device and method for regulating the driving speed of a vehicle

A method for operating an internal combustion engine is provided. By taking into account a setpoint temperature Tof the internal combustion engine which depends on external and internal boundary conditions when controlling and/or regulating temperature-dependent functions of the internal combustion engine, fuel consumption and emission characteristics of the internal combustion engine are improved.

Method for operating a combustion engine

A method and an arrangement automatically restarts a drive unit () when there is an unintended stalling of the drive unit (). In the case of stalling, checks are made as to whether the drive unit () was already in a steady-state condition directly before the stalling, as to whether the stalling took place because of an operator input, especially at an input unit () and as to whether a force-tight connection between the drive unit () and a transmission (or) is present. A restart of the drive unit () is automatically initiated when: the drive unit () was already in a steady-state condition directly before the stalling; when the stalling took place in a departure from the operator input; and, when the force-tight connection between the transmission (or) and the drive unit () is interrupted.
