Method and a control arrangement for determining a control profile for a vehicle

A method for operating a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle having a plurality of control systems, the method comprising, with a control arrangement that includes at least one processor, and at least one memory:

• determining a reference control profile for a control system from the plurality of control systems by:
• determining a plurality of control profiles for operating the control system of the motor vehicle based on topographic information for one and a same future route segment,
• and
• selecting one of the determined plurality of control profiles as the reference control profile, the selection being based on a tradeoff criterion considering at least resource consumption and drivability of each of the determined plurality of control profiles, wherein the tradeoff criterion includes selecting the control profile with a combination of a lowest resource consumption among the determined plurality of control profiles and the drivability above a preset drivability level;
• and
• controlling the control system with the reference control profile while the motor vehicle travels along the one and the same future route segment.
