Determining a clutch temperature of a vehicle clutch by means of a neural network

A method for generating a training data set for a neuron network (12) configured to determine a clutch temperature (KT) of a vehicle clutch, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

• providing (TS1) a number of values (24a, 24b, 24c, 24f) consecutive in time, of a power supplied to the vehicle clutch;
• processing (TS2) the consecutive values (24a, 24b, 24c, 24f) in order to determine an input value (28) that represents the power supplied to the vehicle clutch;
• providing (TS3) at least one value (18a, 18b, 18c) of at least one-operating parameter of the vehicle cutch;
• and
• providing (TS4) values of a clutch temperature,
• wherein the training data set contains the input value (28) and the value (18a, 18b, 18c) of the at least one operating parameter as input data, as well as the values of the clutch temperature as output data.

A control device (10) for determining a clutch temperature (KT) of a vehicle clutch, the control device comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium (14) on which a neuron network (12) for determining a clutch temperature (KT) is stored;
• at least one detection device (22a, 22b) which detects consecutive values (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d) of a power supplied to the vehicle clutch;
• a determination device (26) for determining at least one input value (28) that represents a power supplied to the vehicle clutch, wherein the at least one input value (28) is determined on the basis of the processing of the consecutive values (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d) of a power supplied to the vehicle clutch detected by the detection device;
• an input device (16) for inputting input data (20a, 20b) into the neuron network (12), wherein the input data (20a, 20b) include the at least one input value (28) and at least one value (18a, 18b, 8c) of at least one operating parameter of the vehicle clutch;
• and
• an output device (30) for the output of the clutch temperature (KT) determined by the neuron network (12).
