A method for operating a motor vehicle. A map of corresponding event locations for one or more high load events is provided, wherein the one or more high load events have historically led to an above-average load on a vehicle component. A current position and/or route of the motor vehicle is determined. A high load event is identified from among the one or more high load events as likely to be relevant to the motor vehicle during the current operation. The identification of the high load event is based on the current position and/or route of the motor vehicle. The vehicle component is thermally preconditioned, via a corresponding automatic control of at least one device of the motor vehicle, before the motor vehicle has reached the corresponding event location of the identified high load event.

A method for temperature control of a traction battery includes predefining a target temperature which the traction battery should have at the end of a journey and upon arrival at a fast-charging station; predicting a temperature which the traction battery will have at the end of the journey and upon arrival at the fast-charging station; determining a temperature difference between the target temperature and the predicted temperature; predefining a temperature control specification for temperature control of the traction battery during the journey of the motor vehicle to the fast-charging station in accordance with the determined temperature difference, so that the target temperature prevails upon arrival at the fast-charging station; and controlling the temperature of the traction battery according to the predetermined temperature control specification during the journey of the vehicle.

A method for automatically setting an operating mode of a hybrid vehicle includes determining whether a distance to the destination is greater than a purely electrically travelable range of the hybrid vehicle, wherein the hybrid vehicle is automatically put into a hybrid mode if the distance to the destination is greater than the purely electrically travelable range of the hybrid vehicle, and the hybrid vehicle is automatically put into a purely electrical drive mode if the distance to the destination is not greater than the purely electrically travelable range of the hybrid vehicle. A corresponding control device and hybrid vehicle are also disclosed.

A method for route planning includes a) making an initial energy forecast for a journey route to a route destination using an initial speed for at least one section of the journey route. The method may also include: b1) making a first energy forecast for the journey route using a first speed for the at least one section; b2) making a second energy forecast for the journey route using a second speed for the at least one section; b3) determining whether the journey route, based on the second energy forecast, includes n or n−1 charging stops; and b4) if the journey route includes n charging stops, determining the first speed as specified speed for the at least one section of the journey route, or if the journey route includes n−1 charging stops, repeating steps b2) and b3) with a third speed for the at least one section.

A driver assistance method for a vehicle includes the steps of establishing an energy prediction for a route on the basis of an anticipated driver behavior, determining a driving behavior which is optimized with regard to the energy prediction, and outputting an action recommendation on the basis of the optimized driving behavior.

Method, system, and vehicle for preparing an energy forecast and determining an optimized driving behavior with respect to the energy forecast

A method is provided for the open-loop or closed-loop control of at least one operating parameter of an electric energy accumulator influencing the aging state of the electric energy accumulator. The method determines the actual aging state of the electric energy accumulator, compares the actual aging state with a target aging state predefined for the momentary age of the energy accumulator, and restricts an operating parameter range permitted for the at least one operating parameter if the actual aging state is worse than the target aging state.
