Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating a dynamic speed profile of a motor vehicle which is suitable for simulating in particular actual vehicle operation on a route, comprising the following procedural steps: determining a route-based static speed profile for the route resolved into route segments based on information from a digital map; determining a route-based dynamized speed profile on the basis of the route-based static speed profile which factors in a defined maximum target deceleration to reach mandatory speed minima of the speed profile; determining a time-based dynamic speed profile resolved into time increments on the basis of the route-based dynamized speed profile, wherein an applied acceleration is determined in each time increment based on the speed dictated by the speed profile in a route segment corresponding to the respective time increment and the applied speed in the time increment; and outputting the time-based dynamic speed profile.

Abstract: A ventilation process and output device (100) outputs measured values of a ventilator (200). A processing unit (120) receives a first data set (122) and a second data set (126). The first data set indicates start times (123), at which a current breath (121) begins, and indicates end times (124), at which the breath ends by a starting to exhale. The second data set indicates device-side start times (127), at which the ventilator begins a current inspiratory phase (125), and indicates device-side end times (128), at which the ventilator ends the current inspiratory phase. A start deviation (140) and an end deviation (142) between the inspiratory phase of the ventilator and the current breath are determined based on the corresponding start times and the corresponding end times. An output signal (112) is provided such that within a predefined output structure (150) the start deviations and the end deviations for a predefined plurality of preceding breaths are outputted as a structured visualization (155).

Abstract: A device and method for generating an additional restoring force at the gas pedal for motor vehicles, wherein a change in position of the gas pedal relative to its initial position, brought about by a corresponding activation force counter to a restoring force, leads to an increase in the driving force of the drive engine, and when the activation force diminishes a restoring force returns the gas pedal in the direction of its initial position. An actuator element is provided which applies an additional restoring force which acts in the restoring direction of the gas pedal. For energy efficiency, the invention provides that the magnitude of the additional restoring force (F) acting on the gas pedal is configured such that the gas pedal assumes a position which moves the operating point of the drive engine into a region with a relatively high efficiency level.
