A method for operating a self-driving working machine including determining an operating variable of a working device of the self-driving working machine and determining a longitudinal dynamics driving variable of the self-driving working machine. The method also includes checking whether a hazardous state for stability of the self-driving working machine can occur based on the determined operating variable and the determined longitudinal dynamics driving variable The method also includes intervening in longitudinal dynamics of the self-driving working machine depending on a check result based on the checking step.

Method and control device for operating a self-driving working machine

A method for monitoring an output speed of an electric drivetrain of a self-propelled work machine, including inputting an actual value for a longitudinal tilt of the self-propelled work machine and inputting an actual value for the output speed. The method further includes establishing a characteristic curve of a limit value for the output speed as a function of the longitudinal tilt of the self-propelled work machine and verifying whether, according to the input actual value for the longitudinal tilt, the input actual value for the output speed exceeds the limit value established in the characteristic curve. The method further includes outputting a control signal for bringing about an operationally safe state of the electric drivetrain according to a verification result based on the verification step.

The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a flow of electrical power between an electrical energy source and at least two electric machines of a working vehicle. In one step, an electrical power which can be drawn from the energy source is determined. In a further step, at least two electrical powers which are required for the at least two electric machines are determined. In yet another step, the electrical power which can be drawn is distributed to the at least two electric machines in the ratio of the at least two required electrical powers, such a distribution being carried out if the sum of the at least two required electrical powers is greater than the electrical power which can be drawn. The disclosure also relates to a controller for carrying out the described method and to a working vehicle having such a controller.
