  • Patent number: 9242653
    Abstract: A driver assistance system for assisting a driver in achieving consumption-controlled driving combines haptic and visual acknowledgment functions, particularly in the form of a drive configuration, a display concept, and/or a deceleration assistant. A modified characteristic accelerator pedal curve is utilized, and ECO tips of the interactive output of efficient driving instructions are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2016
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Johann Schweikl, Christof Schulze, Juergen Geus, Georg Mumelter, Christian Popp
  • Patent number: 9184475
    Abstract: A method is provided for the open-loop or closed-loop control of at least one operating parameter of an electric energy accumulator influencing the aging state of the electric energy accumulator. The method determines the actual aging state of the electric energy accumulator, compares the actual aging state with a target aging state predefined for the momentary age of the energy accumulator, and restricts an operating parameter range permitted for the at least one operating parameter if the actual aging state is worse than the target aging state.

  • Patent number: 8589009
    Abstract: For controlling the charge state of a battery in a hybrid vehicle having an internal-combustion engine and an electric machine, the battery is operated in a working state-of-charge range falling within a theoretically possible state-of-charge range. In a first sub-range, the battery is charged by the electric machine, the electric machine working as a generator and being engine driven. In a second sub-range, the battery is neither charged nor discharged, the electric machine working as a generator and being driven by the engine and, in the process, supplying only an on-board power supply system of the hybrid vehicle with current. In a third sub-range, the battery is discharged and, in the process, supplies the on-board power supply system with current, the electric machine running along passively. In a fourth sub-range, the battery is discharged and, in the process, supplies current to the electric machine operating as an electric motor.
