Patent number: 8933581Abstract: A method is provided for reducing the energy consumption of a motor vehicle having at least one electric on-board power supply system to which at least one electric consuming device is connected. For implementing an efficient on-board power supply system which, in addition, contributes to the reduction of the energy consumption of a motor vehicle, the voltage level and/or power level of the electric on-board power supply system is kept at a first, low level during a first operating condition of the motor vehicle. The voltage level and/or power level of the electric on-board power supply system is temporarily raised to a second, higher level in a second operating condition of the motor vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Olaf Lemke, Martin Hauschild

Patent number: 8255141Abstract: A method for reducing energy consumption of a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a vehicle electric system, to which at least a first electric consumer is connected. To achieve an efficient vehicle electric system with a reduced energy consumption, the internal combustion engine is operated in a first operating mode with a first injection quantity and a first ignition timing. In a second operating mode, the internal combustion engine is operated with a second injection quantity that is higher than the first injection quantity and with a second ignition timing. A driving situation detection device recognizes an imminent specific driving situation on the basis of the previous behavior of the driver in controlling the vehicle and/or the behavior of the vehicle in advance and initiates a switch in the operating modes of the internal combustion engine from the first operating mode to the second operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Olaf Lemke, Martin Hauschild

Patent number: 8041474Abstract: A method is provided for reducing the energy consumption of a motor vehicle having at least one vehicle electric system, to which at least a first electric consumer is connected. In order to achieve an efficient vehicle electric system, which, in addition, contributes to a reduced energy consumption of a motor vehicle, in a first operating mode of the motor vehicle, the level of the electric load on the vehicle electric system without at least the first consumer is at a first level. In a second operating mode of the motor vehicle, the level of the electric load on the vehicle electric system without at least the first consumer is decreased temporarily to a second level that is lower than the first level.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Olaf Lemke, Martin Hauschild

Patent number: 7974763Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the energy consumption of a motor vehicle having an internal-combustion engine and having at least one electric onboard power supply to which at least a first electric consuming device is connected. In a first operating condition, the internal-combustion engine is operated with a first injection quantity and a first ignition point. In a second operating condition, the internal-combustion engine is operated with a second injection quantity higher than the first injection quantity and a second ignition point. The second ignition point in time is less favorable than the first ignition point in the case of the second injection quantity with respect to the capacity of the internal-combustion engine. Upon detecting a substantially imminent special driving situation, a driving situation detection device causes the internal-combustion engine to change from the first operating condition into the second operating condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2010Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Hauschild, Olaf Lemke, Torsten Herzog

Patent number: 7869934Abstract: A method provides traffic condition data in the context of a traffic condition recognition by a motor vehicle, in particular traffic condition data for detecting the position of traffic, preferably for detecting traffic jams. In a first step the type of road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined by use of a position recognition device and a digital road map. In a second step, the category of road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined by use of the position recognition device and the digital road map. A third step utilizes assignments, in particular a table, which assigns at least one lower speed threshold, one upper speed threshold and preferably also a normal speed to both the relevant road type and the relevant road category of the road along which the vehicle is traveling. Finally, in a fourth step, at least the lower speed threshold and the upper speed threshold are used to determine the traffic condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2006Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Susanne Breitenberger, Martin Hauschild

Patent number: 7353107Abstract: A method for providing traffic status information as part of a traffic status detection by a motor vehicle, in particular traffic information for detecting traffic jams is provided. To provide high-quality traffic status information at an acceptable cost, it is proposed that a first step should verify whether the vehicle is currently participating in public road traffic. A second step verifies whether the vehicle has been operated otherwise for more than a predetermined period of time, and optionally in a third step the traffic status detection is interrupted.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2006Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Susanne Breitenberger, Martin Hauschild

Patent number: 7343242Abstract: A method for providing traffic status information as part of a traffic status detection system using a traffic status detection device provided in the vehicle, in particular traffic status information for ascertaining the traffic situation, including traffic status information for detecting congested traffic is provided. To provide high-quality traffic status information at an acceptable cost, it is proposed that in a first step a traffic status is detected repeatedly by the traffic status detection device. In a second step, a change in traffic status is detected by the traffic status detection device. In a third step, a data record describing the change in traffic status is generated by the traffic status detection device, in particular a program-controlled computer, and in a fourth step, the data record is transmitted from the traffic status detection device to a receiver that receives the data record, via Short Message Service.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Susanne Breitenberger, Martin Hauschild
