Abstract
In a monitoring device for a vehicle including a drive engine, the monitoring device monitors the power train of the vehicle. The monitoring device includes an arrangement configured to generate a first signal which indicates a setpoint drive torque, a sensor system which measures an actual drive torque and generates a second signal which indicates the actual drive torque, and an analyzer which receives the first signal and the second signal in order to identify possible fault conditions in the power train of the vehicle. Furthermore, a method is for monitoring the power train of a vehicle, and a device is for performing the method.
Claims25
A monitoring device for a vehicle including a drive engine, the monitoring device configured to monitor a power train of the vehicle, comprising:
- an arrangement configured to generate a first signal that specifies a setpoint drive torque;
- a sensor system configured to measure an actual drive torque and to generate a second signal that indicates an actual drive torque;
- and
- an analyzer configured to receive the first signal and the second signal to identify a fault condition in the power train of the vehicle.
A method of monitoring a power train of a vehicle, the comprising the steps of:
- determining a setpoint drive torque;
- providing a sensor system and measuring an actual drive torque using a sensor system;
- and
- evaluating the setpoint drive torque and the actual drive torque to identify a fault condition in the power train.
