Method and device for operating a vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and to a device for operating a vehicle. The method comprises the steps: setting (S; S') a vehicle operating condition; detecting (S; S′) first data signals that comprise information on first environmental parameters, including information on a first external temperature; detecting (S; S′) second data signals that comprise information on vehicle-internal parameters, including information on a target vehicle interior temperature for the vehicle (F); calculating (S; S′) an expected first partial air-conditioning power requirement for the vehicle (F) based at least on the first data signals, the second data signals, and a vehicle model of the vehicle (F), the calculated expected first partial air-conditioning power requirement comprising at least one power requirement, according to the vehicle model, for the provision of a vehicle interior temperature depending on the target vehicle interior temperature and depending on the first external temperature; calculating (S; S′) at least one first additional expected partial power requirement for the vehicle (F); calculating (S; S′) a first expected resulting power requirement; and operating (S; S′) the vehicle (F) based on the determined first expected resulting power requirement, taking into account the set vehicle operating condition.
