  • Patent number: 10507842
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a drive-by-wire system of a motor vehicle, including: temporally offset reading in of at least two input values of an input quantity of an operating element of the motor vehicle; ascertaining a change over time or rate of change over time of the input quantity from the at least two read-in input values; determination of a monitored quantity for the motor vehicle operation from the change over time or rate of change over time; selection of a monitoring function on the basis of the monitored quantity; monitoring of the monitored quantity for the ascertained motor vehicle operation by the monitoring function.

  • Patent number: 10140787
    Abstract: A method for determining whether an error is present or not in a motor vehicle, a discrete state, in which the motor vehicle is presently in, being ascertained with the aid of a state machine, a decision being made, depending on the ascertained discrete state, whether an error is present or not, whereby the states of the state machine include acceptable states and unacceptable states, then, if the ascertained discrete state is an unacceptable state, the motor vehicle is transferred into an acceptable state.

  • Patent number: 10106169
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a motor vehicle on the basis of one or more comparison values of a variable relating to a motion of the motor vehicle which have respectively been ascertained with different, motor-vehicle-external capture devices, a functionality in the context of ascertaining the variable with motor-vehicle-internal capture device, and/or a functionality of a drive control system of the motor vehicle, being assessed on the basis of the comparison values.

  • Publication number: 20170082052
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining whether an error exists during the operation of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, in which an engine control unit controls the internal combustion engine and a second control unit, in particular a higher-order vehicle control unit, of the motor vehicle is provided, in which a setpoint variable, which describes a curve of a setpoint value of an operating variable, is ascertained and, as a function of whether a comparison between a limiting value and a difference of an ascertained actual variable, which describes a curve of an actual value of the operating variable, and the ascertained setpoint variable, has the result that the difference is greater than the limiting value, it being decided whether the error exists, wherein the engine control unit receives the result of the comparison from the second control unit.

  • Publication number: 20160133064
    Abstract: A method for determining whether an error condition is present in a motor vehicle, a discrete state in which the motor vehicle is momentarily situated being ascertained with the aid of a state machine, monitoring functions for ascertaining whether an error condition is present being carried out or not as a function of the ascertained discrete state.
