A load-reversal damping component is provided, which filters a first setpoint value for an output variable of the drive unit to damp a load reversal. A speed controller is provided, which specifies a second setpoint value for the output variable of the drive unit in order to adjust an actual value for an engine speed of the drive unit to a setpoint value for the engine speed. A first component of the second setpoint value for the output variable specified by the speed controller is taken into account in the formation of the first setpoint value.

Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid drive for a vehicle including at least one internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor, the internal combustion engine and the electric motor being operable in a hybrid mode, which enables a temporary power boost by supplementing the internal combustion engine output with electric motor output. The temporary power boost is allowed only until reaching a limit velocity (VG), which depends on the maximum velocity (VSM, VSM?) in internal combustion engine mode, which depends on the particular driving resistance.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for the speed control of a vehicle as well an operator-controlled element are disclosed which make possible an improved acceleration and/or deceleration input by the driver of the motor vehicle. The speed control takes place in dependence upon a value for an acceleration and/or deceleration of the motor vehicle with this value being pregiven with the aid of an operator-controlled element. The function of the operator-controlled element is different from the function of an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal. With the actuation of the operator-controlled element, one of several different values for the acceleration and/or deceleration is selected and pregiven.

Abstract: A method for operating a drive unit, in which, given the use of a vehicle-speed controller, the actual speed is prevented from exceeding the setpoint speed too significantly. In the method, a setpoint value for an output variable of the drive unit is predetermined. An overrun fuel cutoff of the drive unit is enabled as soon as the setpoint value for the output variable falls below a characteristic value for the overrun fuel cutoff.

Abstract: A method and a device for operating a vehicle provide a convenient and flexible function for limiting a performance quantity, in particular the speed or the engine speed of the vehicle. At least one limiting value is predefined for the performance quantity. The at least one limiting value is predefined at an input unit as a function of at least one criterion. A check is made to determine whether the at least one criterion is satisfied. The at least one limiting value is activated if the at least one criterion is satisfied.

Abstract: A method is directed to the control of the speed of a vehicle wherein the actual speed is caused to track the desired speed. For reducing the actual speed, a transmission (1) of the vehicle (5) is driven to downshift and thereby the brake system is protected with respect to wear and overheating.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for monitoring a deceleration function of a control unit of a motor vehicle affect as little as possible the operability of the control unit in the case of a fault. The deceleration function of a control unit (1) of a motor vehicle inputs a vehicle deceleration independently of the actuation of a vehicle brake operator-controlled element. The input is transmitted via a deceleration interface (5) to a brake system (10) of the vehicle to realize the input. A check is made as to whether a brake intervention of the brake system (10), which is initiated by the deceleration function, is permissible and, at first, only the deceleration function is deactivated when the brake intervention is impermissible.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle make possible an effective kinesthetic signaling of an event. Based on a detection of the event, an output variable of the drive unit is changed in a stepwise manner, as a function of whether the vehicle is in an overrun state or an acceleration state.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle are suggested which prevent a lost motion and a dead path in the interpretation of the position of the accelerator pedal for forming a desired acceleration. An acceleration command is derived from a position of an operator-controlled element (1), especially of an accelerator pedal, and a desired value for an output quantity of the drive unit is formed in dependence upon the acceleration command. A minimum value and/or a maximum value for the acceleration of the vehicle is determined in dependence upon an instantaneous running resistance. The minimum value and/or the maximum value are assigned to respective boundaries of an adjustment range for the position of the operator-controlled element (1).
