Abstract: A transmission device, for a motor vehicle, with at least two drive output shafts and two multi-shaft planetary gearsets in active connection with one another. A shaft of a planetary gearset is actively connected with an output shaft and is shifted, between first and second power paths, such that in the first power path, torque of an electric machine is transmitted in equal parts and with the same sign to the output shafts, and in the second power path, torque is transmitted in equal parts but with different signs. One of the two planetary gearsets is made as a four-shaft, reduced coupling transmission with two sun gears and a common planetary gear carrier with radially inner and outer planetary gears that mesh with one another, and which are engaged, on the one hand, with the sun gears and, on the other hand, with a rotationally fixed ring gear.

A shaft of each gearset can be actively connected with an output shaft. A shifting mechanism is provided, between the two output shafts, for shifting between a first power path and a second power path.

A motor output shaft of the electric machine is arranged perpendicularly to one of the two output shafts.

Abstract: A transmission for distributing a drive torque to two drive output shafts, with two planetary gearsets each having at least three shafts. A respective shaft of a planetary gearset is connected to a drive input shaft. Furthermore, one shaft of each planetary gearset constitutes one of the output shafts and in each case at least one further shaft of a planetary gearset is connected with a shaft of another planetary gearset. An operation-status-dependent torque of one shaft can be supported by the connection, depending on an operating status of the other shaft connected thereto, in such manner that when there is a rotation speed difference between the output shafts, a speed-difference-changing torque is applied to the planetary gearsets. Furthermore, a drive train is proposed, in which a drive torque from a drive-power-source is distributed variably in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the vehicle in an operation-status-dependent manner.

Abstract: A transmission for distributing a drive torque between at least two drive output shafts with at least two planetary gearsets, each having at least three-shafts. In each case, a shaft of a planetary gearset is connected to a drive input shaft and a second respective shaft of a planetary gearsets is the drive output shafts. A respective third shaft of the planetary gearsets communicates with a brake such that a degree of distribution of the drive torque between the two output shafts varies as a function of the transfer capacities of the brakes. A transmission device controls and regulates a drive torque from a drive engine between the two output shafts of the transmission device. The transfer capacities of the two brakes are adjusted such that one brake is in a synchronous condition and the transfer capacity of the other brake is varied between a lower and an upper limiting value.

Abstract: A method for determining a control standard of an active steering device (10) of a vehicle (1) controllable by a control device (11). A driving dynamic of the vehicle (1) is influenced according to the control standard. The control standard is determined according to a nominal yawing rate calculated at least with reference to different actual operating parameters of the vehicle and one dynamic vehicle state determined according to the nominal yawing rate and actual operating state parameters. The control standard is superimposed on a steering transit angle preset by a driver so that an existing actual yawing rate is changed in direction of the nominal yawing rate.
