Abstract: A method for predicting a future camshaft position includes approximating a regulating circuit or a part of a regulating circuit that includes at least an adjusting device by a transfer function, and ascertaining a future camshaft position on the basis of the transfer function. An engine control unit is also provided.

Abstract: A control unit for controlling a phase angle of a first camshaft of an internal combustion engine includes a first characteristic diagram signal generator for determining a dynamic setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft, a second characteristic diagram signal generator for determining a static setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft, and a first interpolator for determining a corrected setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft based on the dynamic setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft and on the static setpoint phase angle of the first camshaft. A motor vehicle including a control unit for controlling a phase angle of a first camshaft of an internal combustion engine and a method for controlling a phase angle of a first camshaft of an internal combustion engine are also provided.
