  • Patent number: 11872892
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle having multiple drive wheels and multiple drive machines, each drive machines being an electric machine and being allocated to a drive wheel. The method includes: acquiring a total setpoint drive torque; acquiring a current vehicle driving speed, a current steering angle, and optionally, the wheel loads of all drive wheels; determining wheel-individual movement speeds of the drive wheels over the roadway based on the current vehicle driving speed, the current steering angle, a known chassis geometry of the motor vehicle, and optionally, the wheel loads; determining a setpoint wheel speed for each drive wheel based on the determined movement speeds, and distributing the total setpoint drive torque to all drive wheels such that an actual curve path deviates from a setpoint curve path specified by the steering angle; actuating each drive machine to adjust the setpoint wheel speed at the respective drive wheel.

  • Patent number: 11117585
    Abstract: In a method for drive optimization in a motor vehicle including at least two drivable wheels at a vehicle axle having individually settable drive torque, to increase the propelling force, the drive torque at at least one wheel is increased in such a way that an increased longitudinal slip of at least 20% results at the wheel.

  • Publication number: 20180281603
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle, which includes driven wheels and driving machines, each driven wheel being assigned a driving machine, respectively, the method including determining a setpoint total drive torque; measuring a current vehicle traveling speed, a current steering angle and, optionally, the wheel loads of all of the driven wheels; determining individual wheel speeds of motion of the driven wheels over the roadway as a function of the current vehicle traveling speed, the current steering angle, a chassis geometry of the motor vehicle and, optionally, the wheel loads; determining a setpoint rotational speed for each driven wheel as a function of the determined speeds of motion, and distributing the setpoint total drive torque to all driven wheels so that spinning of the specific driven wheel on the roadway is prevented; and controlling each driving machine to set the setpoint rotational speed at the specific driven wheel.
