  • Patent number: 10787982
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and to a method for calibrating a controller of a vehicle component, in particular at least of one section of a drivetrain of a motor vehicle, preferably of an internal combustion engine, wherein control data, on the basis of which the vehicle component is controlled, are stored in the controller, and wherein the method comprises the following working steps: identifying at least one first vehicle parameter of a plurality of vehicle parameters of calibrated variants of the vehicle component, which parameter has different values for different calibrated variants, preferably a rated power, an emission value and/or a market specification; checking, if the calibrated variants differ in terms of the at least one first vehicle parameter, at least one portion of the control data of the calibrated variants for a relationship with the at least one first vehicle parameter; defining, if a relationship is detected, a calibration function for the at least one portion of the control data on

  • Patent number: 9489780
    Abstract: A method for processing data with parameters of a vehicle, power train or power train component of different origin comprises reading out of the data and the carrying out a statistical analysis for determining the minimum and maximum axis values of the data associated with the same parameters. Subsequently, the data is converted and compressed into a common format, and the data associated with the same parameters is provided with common axes and the same number of sampling points, wherein the start and end figures of the axes results from the minimum and maximum axis figures. The data processed in this way may then be subjected to further processing.
