  • Method for operating a motor vehicle, control device, and motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11745743
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle has a control device and a drive train. The drive train includes as components a motor, a clutch, and at least one wheel. The motor is coupled to the at least one wheel via the clutch. The control device controls a rotational speed of the at least one wheel based on a rotational speed specification using a model mapping the drive train of the motor vehicle. A torque generated by the motor is influenced as the manipulated variable as a function of at least one state variable of the drive train determined on the basis of the model.

  • Method for regulating a drive train of a motor vehicle, regulating device, and motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11453289
    Abstract: A method for regulating a drive train of a motor vehicle. The drive train includes, as components, a motor, at least one mechanical component, and at least one wheel. The motor is coupled to the at least one wheel via the at least one mechanical component. A speed of the at least one component of the drive train based on a speed specification is regulated using a model depicting the drive train of the motor vehicle. A torque generated by the motor is influenced as a regulated variable as a function of at least one state variable of the drive train determined on the basis of the model.
