Abstract
A vehicle control system with a hybrid drive comprising an engine and an electric motor and a plurality of functional components each divided into a strategy sub-component, a control sub-component and an actuator sub-component. The functional components include at least engine, transmission and hybrid functional components. The strategy sub-component () of the hybrid functional component () comprises an operating status prescription module () which reads in a first quantity of data from functional components in order to determine a prescribed value for the operating status of the hybrid drive, processes the read in data in order to produce a second quantity of output variables, and in a second sub-module (), determines the prescribed value for the operating status of the hybrid drive using the output variables from the first sub-module () and with the help of automatic status-determining mechanism.
