  • Patent number: 11675361
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a machine learning system for generating driving profiles and/or driving routes of a vehicle including: a generator obtains first random vectors and generates first driving routes and associated first driving profiles related to the first random vectors, driving routes and respectively associated driving profiles recorded in driving mode are stored in a data base, second driving routes and respectively associated second driving profiles recorded in driving mode are selected from the database, a discriminator obtains first pairs made up of first generated driving routes and respectively associated first generated driving profiles and second pairs made up of second driving routes and respectively associated second driving profiles recorded in driving mode, the discriminator calculates outputs that characterize each pair, and a target function is optimized as a function of the outputs of the discriminator.

  • Patent number: 11661067
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a machine learning system to generate driving profiles of a vehicle. The method includes first travel routes are selected from a first database having travel routes, a generator of the machine learning system receives the first travel routes and generates first driving profiles for each of the first travel routes, travel routes and associated driving profiles determined during vehicle operation are stored in a second database, second travel routes and respective associated second driving profiles determined during vehicle operation are selected from the second database, a discriminator of the machine learning system receives pairs made up of one of the first travel routes with the respective associated first generated driving profile and pairs made up of second travel routes with the respective associated second driving profile determined during vehicle operation, as input variables.

  • Patent number: 11261774
    Abstract: A method is provided for ascertaining a NOx concentration and an NH3 slip downstream from an SCR catalytic converter of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. State variables of an internal combustion engine as first input variables and an updated NH3 fill level of the SCR catalytic converter as a second input variable cooperate with at least one machine learning algorithm or at least one stochastic model. The at least one machine learning algorithm or at least one stochastic model calculates the NOx concentration and the NH3 slip downstream from the SCR catalytic converter as a function of the first input variables and the second input variables and output the same as output variables.

  • Patent number: 11199419
    Abstract: A method for reducing exhaust gas emissions of a drive system of a vehicle including an internal combustion engine, including generating first driving profiles using a computer-implemented machine learning system, the statistical distribution of the first driving profiles being a function of a statistical distribution of second driving profiles measured during real driving operation, calculating respective exhaust gas emissions for the first driving profiles using a computer-implemented modeling of the vehicle or the drive system, adapting the drive system as a function of at least one of the calculated exhaust gas emissions, the adaptation taking place as a function of a level or of a profile of the calculated exhaust gas emissions and of a statistical frequency of the corresponding first driving profile, the statistical frequency of the corresponding first driving profile being ascertained with the aid of the statistical distribution of the first driving profiles.

  • Patent number: 11078857
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining emissions of a motor vehicle driven with the aid of an internal combustion engine in a practical driving operation. A machine learning system is trained to generate time curves of the operating variables with the aid of measured time curves of operating variables of the motor vehicle and/or of the internal combustion engine, and to then ascertain the emissions as a function of these generated time curves.
