Abstract
The invention provides a method for controlling a vehicle () comprising a drivetrain comprising at least one drive device () adapted to generate mechanical power, the method comprising—controlling the vehicle to perform a mission comprising a plurality of stages (MS-MS), —collecting operational data relevant to the operation of the drivetrain, wherein the operational data indicate a de-rate of a component of the drivetrain, a fault of a component of the drivetrain, and/or an environmental condition which influences the drivetrain operation, —determining an expected mission stage (MS-MS), —determining, in dependence on the operational data, the propulsive capacity (CA-CA) in at least two different operational areas (A-A) of the drive device (), —mapping the operational area propulsive capacities (CA-CA) to the expected mission stage (MS-MS), and —controlling the vehicle () in dependence on said mapping.
