Abstract: A method for controlling a hydraulic unit with a rotational-speed-controlled pump which, at an outlet side, provides at least two fluid flows in a manner switched by means of switching valves actuating at least one slave cylinder and for providing a volume flow which is controlled based on a rotational speed of the pump. To set the volume flow, an efficiency of the pump is calculated base on a comparison of a known slave cylinder volume of the at least one slave cylinder and a quantity of fluid of the pump for the filling of the at least one slave cylinder.

Abstract: A method determines the biting point of a hybrid disconnect clutch of a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid disconnect clutch disconnects or connects an internal combustion engine and a first electric motor, which is arranged on the output side. A second electric motor, which is arranged on the internal combustion engine side and is rigidly connected to the internal combustion engine, is operated at a constant rotational speed during electric travel by means of the first electric motor. The hybrid disconnect clutch is moved from the open state toward the closed state and the load on the second electric motor is monitored. When the load on the second electric motor reaches a predefined load threshold value, it is determined that the biting point has been reached.

Abstract: A method ascertains a characteristic variable of a clutch installed into the powertrain of a vehicle for transmitting torque between a clutch input and a clutch output. A first electric motor is connected to the clutch input to introduce a first drive torque into the clutch. The torque is ascertained when the vehicle is at a standstill in that the clutch is first opened; the first electric motor is regulated at a first rotational speed; the clutch output is regulated at a second rotational speed; a counter torque which counteracts the transmission torque is applied to the clutch output; the clutch is then closed in order to assume a slipping state in which a specific differential rotational speed between the clutch input and the clutch output is present; the first drive torque is then ascertained; and the transmission torque is determined on the basis of the first drive torque.

Abstract: A method actively changes the frictional value of a hybrid disconnect clutch installed in a powertrain of a vehicle in which a first electric motor (18) is connected to a clutch input (21) and an internal combustion engine (17), and a second electric motor (19) is connected to a clutch output (22) and a vehicle output (23). The frictional value of the hybrid disconnect clutch is actively changed, in order to roughen a surface of the friction linings on the hybrid disconnect clutch (20). A slip situation is established at the hybrid disconnect clutch (20), and during this slip situation energy is introduced into the hybrid disconnect clutch (20) in a controlled manner.

Abstract: A method ascertains a characteristic variable of a clutch installed in a drive train of a vehicle for transmitting a transmission torque between a clutch input and a clutch output. A first electric motor is connected to the clutch input and to an internal combustion engine and can assume generator operation, during which it is driven by the internal combustion engine. A second electric motor is connected to the clutch output. The clutch input can have a first rotational speed and the clutch output can have a second rotational speed. The transmission torque during generator operation is ascertained by activating the clutch to adopt a slipping state and in doing so by setting a predefined rotational speed difference between the first and second rotational speed. The clutch input torque present at the clutch input is then ascertained and the transmission torque is determined depending on the clutch input torque.

Abstract: In a method for operating a powertrain of a vehicle, a first electric motor can provide a first drive torque, a second electric motor can provide a second drive torque and an internal combustion engine can provide a third drive torque to an output. The internal combustion engine and the first electric motor can be connected to the output via a separating clutch. In the event of a specific acceleration requirement, the separating clutch is closed regardless of a state of the internal combustion engine, and the first electric motor delivers the first drive torque and the second electric motor delivers the second drive torque together to the output.
