Abstract: A vehicle having an internal combustion engine, a transmission having multiple gears and a transmission input shaft, and a recuperation system for recovering electrical energy, the recuperation system being configured for changing a speed value of the internal combustion engine during a gear change from an actual gear into a setpoint gear to a speed value of the transmission input shaft in the setpoint gear.

Abstract: A method for determining an overpressure in a fuel reservoir of an injection system of an internal combustion engine, in particular in a common rail of a common rail system, the pressure in the fuel reservoir being sensed, an overpressure in the fuel reservoir being identified if the derivative of the sensed pressure over time exceeds a predetermined slope threshold value and the sensed pressure then exceeds a predetermined pressure threshold value.

Abstract: A method for detecting a malfunction of a sensor measuring a measured quantity is provided, in which a signal-range check for the output signal of the sensor is performed, provided that the measured quantity is within a permissible range. If the measured quantity is outside the permissible range, no signal-range check is performed, but the output signal is used for detecting the measured quantity and for further calculations. The sensor may be, for example, a hot-film air-mass meter. If this is the case, the measured quantity is the drawn-in air mass, and the signal-range check is performed, provided that the engine operating state and thus the drawn-in air satisfies specifiable conditions. In addition to the signal-range check, onboard diagnoses with regard to specifiable plausibility criteria relating to the offset-drift and/or the sensitivity-drift of the sensor may also be performed.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling an internal combustion engine. A temperature variable and a pressure variable are detected by sensors. On the basis of at least the temperature variable and the pressure variable, a first quantity is determined that characterizes the air quantity, which is supplied to the internal combustion engine. A further sensor detects a second quantity that characterizes the air quantity, which is supplied to the internal combustion engine. The second quantity is adapted by the first quantity. Furthermore, the first quantity is used as a substitute value for the second quantity.
