  • Publication number: 20130013141
    Abstract: In a motor vehicle drive device, in particular a motor vehicle hybrid drive device, including an open-loop and/or closed-loop control unit, which is provided for controlling an energy store service unit for charging and/or discharging an energy store unit as a function of travel information items which are made available by a data assistance system, the control unit is adapted, in at least one operating state, to predictively calculate at least one state of charge (SOC) operating point of the energy store unit with an SOC derivative action as a function of the travel information items.

  • Publication number: 20090207009
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for monitoring vehicle tire the pressure a tire inflation pressure is determined and compared with at least one stored set point value. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether the vehicle tire has an incorrect tire pressure, particularly an excessively low tire pressure. A first warning message is activated if the determined incorrect tire pressure reaches or exceeds a predefined first threshold value. According to the invention, output of the first warning message is delayed until after the ignition has been switched off for a predefinable time period.

  • Patent number: 7502704
    Abstract: A method for monitoring the pressure of motor vehicle tires is provided. In the method, a tire pressure value of the tire filling pressure and a tire temperature value are determined. While taking into account the tire temperature value, the determined tire pressure value is compared with a stored nominal value and the comparison result is used to determine whether the motor vehicle tire is at an incorrect tire pressure, in particular, a low tire pressure. If the tire pressure is incorrect when a characteristic change in the tire pressure occurs, the stored nominal value is replaced by a new nominal value, and the comparison result is used to determine the new nominal value of the determined tire pressure value.

  • Publication number: 20080278304
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for monitoring vehicle tire pressure a tire inflation pressure value is acquired and compared with at least one stored setpoint value; and based on the comparison result, it is determined whether the vehicle tire has an incorrect tire pressure, (particularly, an excessively low tire pressure). According to the invention when a detected activation event occurs, a current kilometer reading is acquired and is stored together with predefined information. An activation event is detected if an inflation of at least one of the tires or manual re-activation is detected.
