Abstract: A method for operating a control device of a utility vehicle for carrying out a work process, in particular an agricultural utility vehicle. The utility vehicle includes a large number of sub-systems, each for executing a sub-process of the work process, a control program for controlling the utility vehicle and the work process is divided into a large number of sub-programs; each sub-program is provided for controlling a relevant sub-system of the utility vehicle and for controlling a sub-process of the work process that is to be executed by this relevant sub-system; a large number of virtual machines is executed, the individual virtual machines each executing one of the sub-programs.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for making executable specifications in the system development and/or the system validation of a functional system for a target device for a motor vehicle. The method includes: providing a function system including at least one model view of the one or multiple functions for controlling or regulating a target device; providing a selection interface configured for selecting and changing a system part in a provided first model view by a user; transferring and displaying the system part selected and/or changed in the first model view in another model view for the user; providing a specification-and-approval interface designed for selecting and/or checking and/or further adapting the displayed system parts or changes in the other model view and for approving the changes to the system made in the first and/or in the other model view by the user; adopting in an automated manner the approved changes.

Abstract: A device for operating a vehicle includes: a vehicle movement module for forming control signals for a control unit of an actuating system of the vehicle; an energy management module for managing energy which is available for a vehicle operation, the energy management module being configured to form further control signals for the control unit as a function of the available energy, and a prioritizer for prioritizing the control signals over the further control signals as a function of a vehicle position and/or a vehicle movement state for stabilizing the vehicle.

Abstract: Method, device and computer program for implementing a safety analysis in systems, in particular in a motor vehicle, the systems or the at least one system having multiple components linked by communication relationships, the components and their communication relationships forming a functional structure of the systems or the at least one system, errors being determined as a function of the functional structure, and these error dependencies being analyzed with respect to the functional structure.

Abstract: A method for controlling at least one actuator in a mass flow duct, which makes it possible to implement a predefined pressure upstream from the at least one actuator more rapidly. The flow resistance of the mass flow duct is modified by controlling the at least one actuator. A pressure upstream from the at least one actuator in the mass flow duct is predefined. A variable characterizing the flow resistance of the mass flow duct is determined as a function of the predefined pressure. The at least one actuator is controlled to set the related variable characterizing the flow resistance of the mass flow duct.
