  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A POWER RESERVE OF AN ELECTRIC DRIVE
    Publication number: 20130338875
    Abstract: A method for determining a power reserve of an electric drive, particularly for use in a drive train of a motor vehicle, having the steps: determining a power limit of the electric drive which forms the limit of the convertible power of the electric drive; recording a requested, provided or applied torque of the electric drive; determining a power reserve which forms a power that is implementable above the requested, provided or applied torque within the determined power limit of the electric drive; and displaying the power reserve using a display.

  • Apparatrus for assisting driving of a vehicle and method for operating the apparatus
    Publication number: 20090299569
    Abstract: An apparatus is described for assisting driving of a vehicle having at least two driver assistance systems and having an output device or element for communicating information items of at least one of the driver assistance systems to a driver of the vehicle. To relieve the strain on the driver, a control device or element, configured as an information coordinator and connected at its input side to the driver assistance systems and at its output side to the output device is provided for controlling information items of the driver assistance systems to be communicated to the driver.

  • Method for distance alert and distance alerting unit
    Patent number: 7289018
    Abstract: A method for distance alert for a vehicle, the distance of the vehicle to obstacles in the vehicle's surroundings being detected. The output of an alert depends on whether or not an obstacle is located in the vehicle's travel path. If there is no obstacle located in the travel path, then an alert is only output at a substantially smaller distance than would be the case when an obstacle is located in the travel path. The method is used for avoiding unnecessary alerts about obstacles.

  • Method for ascertaining a critical driving behavior
    Publication number: 20050116829
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining a critical driver behavior, in which an operative control undertaken by the driver is evaluated and compared to a stored user profile in such a way that, given a deviation of the operative control from the stored user profile, a critical driver behavior is ascertained.
