Abstract
In a control system having at least one electronic control unit for controlling an internal combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle, the control unit is designed in such a way that it evaluates input signals for detecting data for identifying a current situation and for identifying at least one situation forecast in the near future with regard to an expected speed curve and at least the predicted current traffic light phase duration. Depending thereon and on a change in load brought about by a driver interaction, the control unit controls, in a manner that is adaptive to the situation, the restart and shutoff of the internal combustion engine independently of a currently predefined EV mode speed limit and/or EV mode load limit.
