Abstract: The invention relates to an engine control unit for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, with a control unit which is designed to set one or more operating parameters of the internal combustion engine based on a predefined multidimensional operating parameter map which is stored in the control unit and specifies respective operating parameter values for various operating states of the internal combustion engine, wherein the control unit is designed to transmit an operating parameter history, which comprises operating parameter values set for the internal combustion engine in its operating history, to a learning unit, and to receive operating parameter map update data from the learning unit and to update the stored operating parameter map by means of the operating parameter map update data in order to provide improved control for the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engine control unit (1, 1?) for an internal combustion engine of a fleet vehicle (2, 2?) in a vehicle fleet with at least two fleet vehicles (2, 2?) with a control unit (3, 3), which is configured for setting control variables based on measured variables according to a control scheme stored in the engine control unit (1, 1?); and with a data interface unit (4, 4?), which is configured to transmit respective engine operating data sets to/from another engine control unit (1, 1?) of a respective drive internal combustion engine of at least one other fleet vehicle (2, 2?); wherein the control unit (3, 3?) is configured to set the control variables while considering at least one engine operating data set of the other engine control unit(s) (1, 1?) received via the data interface unit (4, 4?), in order to provide an improved control for the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor controller for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, comprising a control unit for setting one or more control variables on the basis of one or more measured variables according to a stored control scheme; wherein the control unit is designed to modify the stored control scheme when the control unit is used as intended with the operational internal combustion engine, which is being controlled by the motor controller, according to a specified learning algorithm, namely using at least one feedback parameter which is associated with an optimization criterion and is provided to the control unit, in order to provide an improved control of the internal combustion engine.
