Operating a Control Device of a Motor Vehicle in Order to Predict a Next Stopping Procedure

Abstract

Method for operating a control device of a motor vehicle in order to predict a next stopping procedure, and control device and motor vehicle The invention relates to a method (23) for operating a control device (11) of a motor vehicle (10) during a journey along a route (16), wherein at least one upcoming potential stopping point (25, 32, 33, 34) along the route (16) is determined, and, as the respectively determined potential stopping point (25, 32, 33, 34) is approached, a probability value (28) for a probability of a stopping procedure of the motor vehicle (10) at the stopping point (25, 32, 33, 34) is determined on the basis of a stopping model (21). The invention provides for the control device (11) to manage, as the stopping model (11), a statistical model which also provides intermediate values between 0% and 100% for the probability value and, if the probability value (28) is in a predetermined range of values (29) defining the likely occurrence of the stopping procedure, to trigger at least one predetermined operating measure (30) which is respectively configured to adapt operation of the motor vehicle (10) to the stopping procedure.
