  • Patent number: 6904357
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement control the output quantity (NMOTACT) of a drive unit (1) of a vehicle. The method and arrangement make possible a time-optimal control strategy especially during a shift operation of the vehicle. The output quantity (NMOTACT) is adjusted with the aid of an adjusting quantity (MDES) and tracks an input value (NMOTDES). In at least one pregiven operating state of the vehicle, the actuating quantity (NMOTDES) is brought to a pregiven limit value (MO, MU) when a pregiven control deviation (dnv) of the output quantity (NMOTACT) is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 6886530
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement for operating a drive motor of a vehicle are suggested. A resulting desired torque for controlling the drive motor is pregiven in dependence upon the driver command torque and additional desired torque quantities. To limit the resulting desired torque, a motor minimum torque is provided which is derived from the lost torques and is dependent upon rpm.

  • Patent number: 6883493
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement for operating a drive unit of a vehicle are suggested. Starting from a driver command torque which is converted into a resulting desired torque while considering additional torques, a correction of the resulting desired torque is undertaken in dependence upon the loss torques, which are not available for the drive. For realizing a negative torque command of the driver, the driver command torque is corrected with the loss torque weighted in dependence upon accelerator pedal position and rpm.

  • Publication number: 20050016498
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle make possible a central coordination of various reserve torque requests. A reserve for an output quantity of the drive unit is formed. Various reserve requests of different physical significance can be compared to each other and a resulting reserve request is selected in dependence upon the comparison.

  • Patent number: 6845750
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle. In this context, at least one correction variable of the drive unit is set as a function of a setpoint value for an output variable of the drive unit, and as a function of a setpoint correction time, which represents the time in which the setpoint value for the output variable must be attained.

  • Patent number: 6842686
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle are suggested. In a first step, input quantities, which are independent of the drive unit, are applied to form a first input quantity. In a second step, a second input quantity is formed from at least this first input quantity and at least one engine-specific input quantity, the second input quantity influencing at least an actuating quantity of the drive unit. In addition, an interface is described between the engine-independent part and the engine-specific part of the engine control.

  • Publication number: 20040220717
    Abstract: In a method for operating an internal combustion engine, the air-fuel ratio in a combustion chamber is a function of the operating conditions and/or the operating state of the internal combustion engine. It is provided that, with the aid of a data model, a variable expressing a target air-fuel ratio is ascertained from a target torque and an air mass determined with the aid of a model or a measured value, and in addition a setpoint fuel quantity to be injected into the combustion chamber is determined and, using the same data model, a setpoint air mass to be conveyed to the combustion chamber is determined from the target torque and a variable expressing a predefined air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 6786197
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle are provided, in which, in addition to the selection variable for an output variable of the drive unit, another setpoint variable representing the required dynamic setting of the output variable is preselected. The manipulated variable of the drive unit to be influenced is selected on the basis of the selection variable and the additional setpoint variable.

  • Publication number: 20040014561
    Abstract: A method for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle considers several desired input quantities of different priority in the formation of a desired value. At least one output quantity of the drive unit is adjusted in dependence upon the desired value input quantities. For adjustment, a desired value is formed which considers the desired value input quantities in the sequence of their priority.

  • Publication number: 20040007205
    Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine of a vehicle makes possible an acceleration of the shift operation especially of an automatic transmission or of an automated manually shifted transmission of the vehicle. In a shift operation, an operating state quantity of the engine is pregiven. This operating state quantity can be especially an engine output torque (MDES) or an engine rpm (NMOTDES). Furthermore, a torque reserve (MRES1, MRES2, MRES3) is pregiven for a rapid adjustment of the pregiven operating state quantity.
