Abstract
A processor unit () is configured for executing an MPC algorithm () for model predictive control of a first component () of a motor vehicle () and of a second component () of the motor vehicle (). The MPC algorithm () includes a cost function () to be minimized and a dynamic model () of the motor vehicle (). The dynamic model () includes a loss model () of the motor vehicle (). The loss model () describes an overall loss of the motor vehicle (). The cost function () includes a first term, which represents the overall loss of the motor vehicle (). The overall loss depends on a combination of operating values, which includes a first value of a first operating parameter and a second value of a second operating parameter. The processor unit () is also configured for determining, by executing the MPC algorithm () as a function of the loss model (), that combination of operating values, by which the first term of the cost function () is minimized.
