  • Publication number: 20260200331
    Abstract: Regenerative deceleration of an at least partially electrically driven vehicle. It is provided that a minimum rotational speed for the wheels at which the regenerative deceleration is to be carried out is ascertained from parameters such as the vehicle speed and the friction coefficient between tires and road surface. The regenerative deceleration of the vehicle is set on the basis of this minimum rotational speed.

  • Publication number: 20260184311
    Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle where the vehicle may have at least one electric machine which can be operated in an engine mode for driving the vehicle and in a generator mode for recuperative braking of the vehicle. The vehicle may also have an energy storage unit and/or energy sink which supplies the at least one electrical machine with electrical energy during engine operation and is charged by means of electrical energy recuperated during generator operation of the at least one electrical machine and/or further enables recuperative braking. The vehicle may also have a recuperation braking system for carrying out the recuperative braking, the system may be the at least one electric machine and the energy storage unit and/or energy sink. The vehicle may also have a friction braking system with a friction braking device being a wheel braking actuator.

  • Publication number: 20250346241
    Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle central computer for controlling one or more actuators of a vehicle. A specification module and a control module are implemented in the vehicle central computer. The specification module provides a parameterizable target behavior for controlling the one or more actuators. The target behavior is passed from the specification module to the control module via an internal interface. The control module determines and provides, in particular outputs, control variables for the one or more actuators based on the target behavior and within the framework of a control.
