Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle. To determine a total operating strategy, predictive basic data describing the operation of the motor vehicle for a known route is determined from input data comprising route data. The operating strategies of the motor vehicle are evaluated based on the predictive basic data in order to determine the total operating strategy.

The route is divided into route sections, each assigned characterizing performance information. Successive route sections are combined into a common segment when at least one similarity criterion is satisfied comparing the performance information of the route sections. Thereafter, the segments are provided with this assigned total performance information associated with the total performance information.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for route-dependent control of an energy storage device of an at least partially electrically operated motor vehicle, for example a mild-hybrid passenger vehicle, which is implemented by a charge state control device. In this process, said device receives at least one information-containing data value, which relates to a driving situation to be expected on a route section of a driving route. A prediction of the energy requirement of a first device of an onboard network on the route section takes place using the information received. When a predetermined lower threshold value of the predicted energy requirement of the first device is not met, a control signal is generated that causes an energy quantity of an energy reserve of the energy storage device reserved for the first device of the onboard network to be allocated at least partially to a second device of the onboard network.
