The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for starting or stopping a motor-driven motor vehicle having motor functions () and motor-independent vehicle functions () which can be used independently of the type of drive and independently of the type of motor start or motor stop. For a start operation or a stop operation, at least one command to the motor functions () to start or stop the motor () of the motor vehicle is imparted by the vehicle functions () via an interface (). At least one status datum as to the motor () and/or the motor functions () is transmitted by the motor functions () via the interface () to the vehicle functions.

Method and arrangement for starting or stopping a motor-driven vehicle

A method and a device for operating an engine of a vehicle, which allow a power demand of a steering device supported by the engine To be dynamically compensated for. In this context, a derivative-action signal for adjusting an output variable to be output by the engine is generated as a function of a steering action.

Method and device for operating an internal combustion engine of a vehicle

A method and a device for controlling a vehicle, in which a coordinator forms an acceleration variable for the drive train and/or a setpoint acceleration variable that is realized by the brake control, from at least two setpoint acceleration variables.

Method and device for controlling a vehicle

A method and an arrangement for operating a drive motor of a vehicle are suggested. A resulting desired torque for controlling the drive motor is pregiven in dependence upon the driver command torque and additional desired torque quantities. To limit the resulting desired torque, a motor minimum torque is provided which is derived from the lost torques and is dependent upon rpm.

Method and device for operating a drive engine of a vehicle

A method and an arrangement for operating a drive unit of a vehicle are suggested. Starting from a driver command torque which is converted into a resulting desired torque while considering additional torques, a correction of the resulting desired torque is undertaken in dependence upon the loss torques, which are not available for the drive. For realizing a negative torque command of the driver, the driver command torque is corrected with the loss torque weighted in dependence upon accelerator pedal position and rpm.

Method and device for operating the drive motor of a vehicle

An electronic system for a vehicle includes first components for carrying out control tasks in response to operating sequences and second components that coordinate a cooperation of the components for carrying out control tasks. The first components carry out the control tasks by using operating functions and basis functions, wherein the system is constructed such that the basis functions are combined in a basis layer, and a system layer is superimposed on the basis functions, which includes at least two of the second components. At least one open interface of the system layer is provided for the operating functions, and the system layer links the basis functions to any and all operating functions, such that the operating functions can be interconnected and/or used in a modular fashion.

Electronic system for a vehicle and system layer for operational functions

A method and an arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle are suggested. In a first step, input quantities, which are independent of the drive unit, are applied to form a first input quantity. In a second step, a second input quantity is formed from at least this first input quantity and at least one engine-specific input quantity, the second input quantity influencing at least an actuating quantity of the drive unit. In addition, an interface is described between the engine-independent part and the engine-specific part of the engine control.

Method and device for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a drive unit ( ) of a motor vehicle. The method and arrangement reduce the lost motion of an operator-controlled element ( ), which is actuable by the driver, up to an increase of the road speed of the vehicle beyond the road speed pregiven by the road speed controller ( ). The degree of actuation (F) of the operator-controlled element ( ) is detected and a desired value (S) for the torque of the drive unit ( ) is formed from this degree of actuation (F). The desired value (S) for the torque is compared to a pregiven value (V) for the torque requested just then by the road speed controller ( ). The torque of the drive unit ( ) can only then approach the desired value (S) via control of the drive unit ( ) when the desired value (S) exceeds the input value (V). The course of the desired value (S) for the torque is selected as a function of the degree of actuation (F) of the operator-controlled element ( ) so that a pregiven value (VW) for the degree of actuation (F) of the operator-controlled element ( ) is not exceeded at an intersect point (SP&prime;) of the course of the desired value (S) for the torque and the input value (V) just then requested by the road speed controller ( ).

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a motor vehicle having an integrated electric machine which generates electric as well as mechanical power. In the context of a hierarchal control structure having several logic components, the electric machine is allocated as a component &ldquo;electric drive&rdquo; to the component &ldquo;drive&rdquo; with respect to its function for generating mechanical power and as a component &ldquo;generator&rdquo; to the component &ldquo;vehicle electric drive&rdquo; with respect to its function for generating electric power.

A motor vehicle data processing apparatus includes an operating data acquisition device for acquiring at least one operating data value, in particular engine speed, engine load, and the like, while the vehicle is in operation. The motor vehicle data processing apparatus also includes an operating data processing device for processing the acquired operating data and storing corresponding processed operating data in an associated storage device, and an action determination device for examining the stored processed operating data and determining the need to execute a predetermined action as a function of an examination result according to a predefined criteria.

Motor vehicle data processing apparatus

A computer system for controlling the operation of a drive of a motor vehicle includes a plurality of different predetermined components each including at least one functional unit. Such components include a first component representing the motor vehicle as a whole and second component representing the drive. A plurality of interfaces is interposed between these components, being operative for transmitting data between such components. At least one storage stores information concerning such components and interfaces. The functional units mentioned above and the vehicle as a whole are controlled by controlling the above-mentioned components inclusive of the first component. In performing the control, request signals and inquiry signals are generated and transmitted through the interfaces between the components. The operation of the drive is controlled in dependence on the data exchanged between the components through the interfaces.

A method for simulating control functions of a control device, in which a control program code for execution of control functions is stored in a first memory area of a memory belonging to the control device, the control program code including one or more control program code modules for the control functions, and containing at least one switching device for switching over from a control program code module SPCM to a simulation program code module. At least one simulation program code module for one or more test control functions is made available in a second memory area of the memory. The switching devices switch over from the control program code module to a pertinent simulation program code module stored in the second memory area. The control program code is then processed, the simulation program code module being executed, via the switched-over switching device, instead of the control program code module.
