Abstract
A method for populating a controller for a motor vehicle with data includes providing a controller with a storage device, and generating a projected mathematical model of at least one section of a powertrain, including a transmission. The projected mathematical model describes the section of the powertrain with a gear ratio of 1 and is applicable to different transmissions. The projected mathematical model is stored in the storage device of the controller. A motor vehicle is also provided and operated accordingly.
Claims10
A method for populating a controller for a motor vehicle with data, the method comprising:
- providing the controller with a storage device;
- producing a projected mathematical model of at least one section of a drive train with a transmission, wherein the projected mathematical model describes the drive train in a state with a transmission ratio of 1 and not other than 1;
- and
- storing the projected mathematical model in the storage device of the controller,
- wherein the projected mathematical model includes parameters and/or variables that are scalable according to actual transmission ratio information received from the motor vehicle so as to render the projected mathematical model reflective of an actual transmission of the motor vehicle having an actual transmission ratio other than 1 after the projected mathematical model is stored in the storage device.
A method for operating a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle comprises a drive train with at least one transmission, and a controller, the method comprising:
- producing a projected mathematical model of at least one section of the drive train, wherein the projected mathematical model describes the drive train in a state with a transmission ratio of 1 and not other than 1;
- storing the projected mathematical model in a storage device of the controller;
- after the projected mathematical model is stored in the storage device, scaling parameters and/or variables of the projected mathematical model according to an actual transmission ratio of the at least one transmission such that the projected mathematical model models the at least one transmission, the at least one transmission having the actual transmission ratio other than 1;
- and
- generating at least one system matrix on the basis of the projected mathematical model and the scaled parameters and/or variables.
