Abstract: A method for operating a drive system including a drive engine for a motor vehicle, including carrying out an acceleration monitoring of the motor vehicle; switching to an alternative monitoring when a signal, which is relevant for the acceleration monitoring and for which a substitute signal exists, does not exist or has failed, and when a driver input which is below a predefined threshold value is specified, and/or a braking intent is specified.

Abstract: A method for operating a drive system having at least one drive engine for a motor vehicle, having the following: carrying out an acceleration monitoring of the motor vehicle, a changeover to an alternative monitoring being made when the acceleration monitoring can no longer carry out a reliable monitoring, and, in the alternative monitoring, an engine rotational speed being limited to a maximum permissible engine rotational speed; and ascertaining the maximum permissible rotational speed as a function of a rotational speed specification specified by a driver's request.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a drive of a motor vehicle, including acceleration monitoring, including: ascertaining an actual acceleration of the motor vehicle with the aid of a signal of a kinematics sensor, in particular of an acceleration sensor or of a wheel speed sensor, ascertaining a permissible acceleration of the motor vehicle as a function of a position of a gas pedal, and ascertaining the permissibility of an operating state of the drive as a function of the ascertained actual acceleration and the ascertained permissible acceleration, the permissibility of the operating state of the drive being monitored with the aid of alternative monitoring instead of acceleration monitoring when the operating state of the drive meets at least one predetermined condition.
