  • Patent number: 11072323
    Abstract: A method for operating an onboard network of a hybrid motor vehicle. The onboard network is connected to an energy storage unit, especially a battery; an electric motor of a hybrid drive train, which also has an internal combustion engine; and actuators of an electromechanical chassis system that can be operated as generators. At least one reserve capacity of the energy storage unit is kept open for the supplying of electrical energy generated by at least one portion of the actuators to the onboard network. The reserve capacity being held open is dynamically adapted as a function of at least one item of driver style information describing the driving style of the driver of the hybrid motor vehicle and/or at least one item of situation information describing the current and/or future operation of the hybrid motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20200108722
    Abstract: An operating procedure for a brake system of a motor vehicle, wherein the brake system comprises a friction brake and a regenerative brake, wherein the driving situation (F) is evaluated with regard to the use of the regenerative brake in the case of a braking, wherein, as a function of the result of the evaluation (A), a distribution function (D) is specified for the distribution of a braking torque (M) to the friction brake and to the regenerative brake.
