  • Method for optimizing a power requirement of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 9725086
    Abstract: A method for optimizing a power requirement of a motor vehicle that includes a speed control system for a drive unit and a temperature control system for a cooling circuit of the drive unit. A first power requirement of the drive unit to be expected and a second power requirement of the cooling circuit to be expected are determined based on at least one route parameter. A driving strategy corresponding to the route parameter is initially selected, and the first power requirement corresponding to the driving strategy and the second power requirement corresponding to the driving strategy are determined. Based on the determined first and second power requirements, the driving strategy is then adjusted in such a way that an overall power requirement of the motor vehicle is minimized.

  • Hybrid drive control device
    Patent number: 8996218
    Abstract: A hybrid drive control device for a hybrid motor vehicle includes a control or regulation unit having a hybrid operating module that predictively controls or regulates at least a state of charge of an energy store as a function of at least one route parameter. The control or regulation unit has at least one speed control operating module that predictively controls or regulates a motor vehicle speed as a function of the at least one route parameter.
