  • Method for determining an effective prevailing uncertainty value for an emission value for a given time point when operating a drivetrain of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 12253013
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an effective prevailing uncertainty value (304, 305) for an emission value (301, 302) for a given time point when operating a drivetrain (100) of a motor vehicle with an internal-combustion engine (110), wherein, at different times (n), one prevailing emission value (301) and one prevailing uncertainty value (303) are determined for the emission value, wherein the effective prevailing uncertainty value (304, 305) for the given time point is determined from prevailing uncertainty values (303) and prevailing emission values (301) prior to the given time point.
