  • the destination input can be done, for example, in a vehicle-side navigation device, wherein the energy required to achieve the target energy of the motor vehicle is calculated after the detected destination input. For example, the calculation of this amount of energy can be based on previous consumption data of the motor vehicle and / or using physical models. If the motor vehicle is a pure electric vehicle, this determined amount of energy is compared with the current battery charge of the motor vehicle. If the motor vehicle should be a motor vehicle with a pure combustion drive, the determined amount of energy is compared with a remaining tank filling of the motor vehicle. If the motor vehicle is a hybrid vehicle, the calculated amount of energy can be compared both with an existing battery charge and with an existing remaining tank charge.

Description

Verfahren und System zum Betreiben eines Kraftfahrzeugs  Method and system for operating a motor vehicle
BESCHREIBUNG: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und System zum Betreiben eines Kraftfahrzeugs sowie ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem derartigen System. DESCRIPTION The invention relates to a method and system for operating a motor vehicle and to a motor vehicle having such a system.
Je nach Füllstand eines Kraftstoffbehälters und/oder je nach Batterieladestand eines Kraftfahrzeug kann ein Fahrer ein gewünschtes Ziel unter Um- ständen nicht mehr erreichen. Um das Ziel dennoch zu erreichen, ist das Anfahren einer Tankstelle und/oder einer Ladesäule erforderlich. Es ist für den Fahrer nur schwer abschätzbar, mit welcher Fahrweise und unter welchen sonstigen Randbedingungen er sein Ziel ohne ein Nachtanken und/oder Nachladen sicher erreichen kann. Insbesondere beim Einsatz von reinen Elektrofahrzeugen besteht ein Nachteil darin, dass Schnellladesäulen nicht flächendeckend verfügbar sind. Dadurch können sich erhebliche Verzögerungen durch erforderliche Umwege oder aufgrund von verlängerten Ladedauern ergeben. Die DE 10 2005 037 553 A1 zeigt ein Verfahren zur Ansteuerung eines Hybridfahrzeugs. Die Betriebesweise des Elektromotors des Hybridfahrzeugs wird in Abhängigkeit von die Fahrstrecke betreffenden Daten und unter Berücksichtigung eines Ladezustands eines Energiespeichers des Hybridfahrzeugs gewählt. Eine Betriebsstrategie zum Betreiben des Hybridfahrzeugs wird dabei unter Vorgabe eines geographischen Fahrziels und/oder eines Zielparameters der Betriebsstrategie vorgegeben, wobei bei Verfügbarkeit alternativer Fahrtrouten eine dieser Fahrtrouten unter Berücksichtigung der Betriebsstrategie ausgewählt wird. Die DE 103 06 093 A1 zeigt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung eines optimalen Kraftstoffverbrauchs und ein Warnsystem zum Warnen eines Fahrers, wenn nicht genügend Kraftstoff zum Erreichen eines gewünschten Ziels vorhanden ist. Der Kraftstoffverbrauch wird berechnet und der Fahrer wird gewarnt, wenn er nicht genügend Kraftstoff zum Erreichen einer Tankstelle auf dem Rückweg von dem gewünschten Ziel vorhanden sein sollte. Depending on the fill level of a fuel tank and / or the battery charge level of a motor vehicle, a driver may not be able to reach a desired destination under certain circumstances. In order to achieve the goal nevertheless, the start of a gas station and / or a charging station is required. It is difficult for the driver to estimate with which driving style and under what other conditions he can safely reach his destination without refueling and / or reloading. In particular, when using pure electric vehicles, a disadvantage is that fast charging stations are not available across the board. This can result in significant delays due to required detours or due to extended charging time. DE 10 2005 037 553 A1 shows a method for controlling a hybrid vehicle. The mode of operation of the electric motor of the hybrid vehicle is selected as a function of the route data and taking into account a state of charge of an energy storage of the hybrid vehicle. An operating strategy for operating the hybrid vehicle is predefined by specifying a geographical travel destination and / or a destination parameter of the operating strategy, one of these travel routes being selected taking into account the operating strategy when alternative travel routes are available. DE 103 06 093 A1 shows a method for determining an optimal fuel consumption and a warning system for warning a driver when there is not enough fuel to reach a desired destination. Fuel consumption is calculated and the driver is warned if there is not enough fuel to reach a gas station on the way back from the desired destination.
Die DE 10 2004 047 856 A1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum Steuern des Betriebs eines Kraftfahrzeugs, welche eine Einrichtung zur Erfassung von Umge- bungs- und Fahrzeugbetriebsparametern aufweist, die in einer Rechnereinheit verarbeitet und auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung dargestellt werden. Um die Einflussnahme durch den Fahrer zu verbessern, ist eine Eingabeeinrichtung vorgesehen, über die einige der Fahrzeugbetriebsparameter während des Betriebs des Kraftfahrzeugs manipulierbar sind. DE 10 2004 047 856 A1 shows a device for controlling the operation of a motor vehicle, which has a device for detecting environmental and vehicle operating parameters, which are processed in a computer unit and displayed on a display device. In order to improve the influence by the driver, an input device is provided, via which some of the vehicle operating parameters can be manipulated during operation of the motor vehicle.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Lösung bereitzustellen, mittels welcher ein Fahrer eines Kraftfahrzeugs auf verbesserte Weise dabei unterstütz wird, ein gewünschtes Fahrziel ohne ein Nachtanken und/oder ein Nachladen zu erreichen. It is the object of the present invention to provide a solution by means of which a driver of a motor vehicle is assisted in an improved manner in achieving a desired travel destination without refueling and / or reloading.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren sowie durch ein System zum Betreiben eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen mit zweckmäßigen und nicht trivialen Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben. This object is achieved by a method and by a system for operating a motor vehicle having the features of the independent patent claims. Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Kraftfahrzeugs um- fasst die folgenden Schritte: The method according to the invention for operating a motor vehicle comprises the following steps:
- Erfassen eines von einem Fahrzeuginsassen eingegebenen Ziels;  Detecting a destination input by a vehicle occupant;
- Ermitteln, welche Restreichweite das Kraftfahrzeug am Ziel aufweisen wird;  Determining which remaining range the motor vehicle will have at the destination;
- falls die ermittelte Restreichweite geringer als ein vorgegebener Schwellwert ist: Betreiben des Kraftfahrzeugs in einem Verbrauchsop- timierungsmodus, bei welchem das Kraftfahrzeug zur automatischen if the determined residual range is less than a predefined threshold value: operating the motor vehicle in a consumption optimization mode in which the motor vehicle is used for automatic
Durchführung von Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchssenkung des Kraftfahrzeugs bis zur Erreichung des Ziels betrieben wird, wobei Implementation of measures to reduce the consumption of the motor vehicle until the achievement of the objective
■ jede der Maßnahmen fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung bewertet wird; ■ jede der Maßnahmen fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf eine Einschränkung eines Fahrers des Kraftfahrzeugs bewertet wird;  ■ each measure is continuously assessed for its impact on the resulting reduction in consumption; ■ each measure is continuously assessed for its impact on a driver's restriction of the motor vehicle;
■ die einzelnen Maßnahmen in Abhängigkeit von ihren jeweiligen fortlaufend ermittelten Einflüssen auf die Verbrauchssenkung und auf die Einschränkung des Fahrers bis zum Erreichen des Ziels derart aktiviert und deaktiviert werden, dass das Kraftfahrzeug das Ziel mit einer Restreichweite erreicht, welche zumindest dem Schwellwert entspricht und die Einschränkung des Fahrers durch die Maßnah- men minimiert wird. ■ the individual measures depending on their respective continuously determined influences on the reduction of consumption and on the limitation of the driver until reaching the destination can be activated and deactivated in such a way that the motor vehicle reaches the destination with a remaining range which corresponds at least to the threshold value and the restriction of the driver by the measures is minimized.
Die Zieleingabe kann beispielsweise in einem fahrzeugseitigen Navigationsgerät erfolgen, wobei nach der erfassten Zieleingabe die zur Zielerreichung benötige Energiemenge des Kraftfahrzeugs berechnet wird. Beispielsweise kann die Berechnung dieser Energiemenge auf Basis von bisherigen Verbrauchsdaten des Kraftfahrzeugs und/oder unter Heranziehung von physikalischen Modellen erfolgen. Falls es sich bei dem Kraftfahrzeug um ein reines Elektrofahrzeug handelt, wird diese ermittelte Energiemenge mit der aktuellen Batterieladung des Kraftfahrzeugs verglichen. Falls es sich bei dem Kraft- fahrzeug um ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem reinen Verbrennungsantrieb handeln sollte, wird die ermittelte Energiemenge mit einer noch vorhandenen Tankfüllung des Kraftfahrzeugs verglichen. Falls es sich bei dem Kraftfahrzeug um ein Hybridfahrzeug handeln sollte, kann die berechnete Energiemenge sowohl mit einer vorhandenen Batterieladung als auch mit einer ak- tuell noch vorhandenen Tankfüllung verglichen werden. Auf Basis dieses Vergleichs wird nun ermittelt, ob das eingegebene Ziel nur knapp oder nach den aktuellen Berechnungen gar nicht erreichbar sein wird, wobei der Fahrer vorzugsweise über diesen Umstand informiert wird. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Schwellwert unveränderbar kraftfahr- zeugseitig vorgegeben ist. Alternativ kann es aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Schwellwert manuell, je nach Vorlieben des Fahrers, eingestellt werden kann. In letzterem Fall kann der Fahrer also selber bestimmen, welche Restreichweite noch vorhanden sein soll, wenn er mit seinem Kraftfahr- zeug das Ziel erreicht. The destination input can be done, for example, in a vehicle-side navigation device, wherein the energy required to achieve the target energy of the motor vehicle is calculated after the detected destination input. For example, the calculation of this amount of energy can be based on previous consumption data of the motor vehicle and / or using physical models. If the motor vehicle is a pure electric vehicle, this determined amount of energy is compared with the current battery charge of the motor vehicle. If the motor vehicle should be a motor vehicle with a pure combustion drive, the determined amount of energy is compared with a remaining tank filling of the motor vehicle. If the motor vehicle is a hybrid vehicle, the calculated amount of energy can be compared both with an existing battery charge and with an existing remaining tank charge. On the basis of this comparison, it is now determined whether the entered destination will be only scarcely attainable or even unavailable according to the current calculations, the driver preferably being informed of this circumstance. It can be provided that the threshold value is fixed unalterably on the motor vehicle side. Alternatively, however, it may also be provided that the threshold value can be set manually, depending on the preferences of the driver. In the latter case, the driver can thus determine for himself which remaining range should still be present when he reaches the destination with his motor vehicle.
Dabei ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, falls die ermittelte Restreichweite geringer als der vorgegebene Schwellwert sein sollte - also das eingegebene Ziel beispielsweise nur knapp erreichbar oder gar nicht erreichbar sein sollte - das Kraftfahrzeug in einem Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus betrieben wird, bei welchem das Kraftfahrzeug zur automatischen Durchführung von Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchssenkung des Kraftfahrzeugs bis zur Erreichung des Ziels betrieben wird. Dabei wird jede der Maßnahmen fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung be- wertet, wobei jede der Maßnahmen zudem auch fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf eine Einschränkung eines Fahrers des Kraftfahrzeugs bewertet wird. Während des Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus werden mit anderen Worten also unterschiedliche Maßnahmen zur Absenkung des Energieverbrauchs des Kraftfahrzeugs herbeigeführt, so dass der Fahrer sein Wunschziel auch ohne ein Nachtanken und/oder Nachladen einer Batterie erreichen kann. Je nach Fahrmodus werden dabei vorzugsweise unterschiedliche Maßnahmen ergriffen. Die einzelnen Maßnahmen werden in Abhängigkeit von ihren jeweiligen fortlaufend ermittelten Einflüssen auf die Verbrauchssenkung und auf die Einschränkung des Fahrers bis zum Erreichen des Ziels derart aktiviert und deaktiviert, dass das Kraftfahrzeug das Ziel mit einer Restreichweite erreicht, welche zumindest dem Schwellwert entspricht und die Einschränkung des Fahrers durch die Maßnahmen minimiert wird. Durch das beschriebene Verfahren muss sich der Fahrer also nicht selbst um eine möglichst sparsame Fahrweise und/oder weitere, den Verbrauch des Fahrzeugs senkende Maßnahmen zum Erreichen des Fahrziels kümmern. Es wird ihm die Angst vor dem Liegenbleiben genommen und er wird nicht über das Nötige hinaus in seiner Fahrweise eingeschränkt. Der Fahrer kann also auch bei einem relativ niedrigen Kraftstoffbehälterstand oder bei einem relativ niedrigen Batteriestand noch möglichst dynamisch sein Fahrziel erreichen. Dabei kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus nur nach einer Bestätigung durch den Fahrer aktiviert wird. It is inventively provided, if the determined residual range should be less than the predetermined threshold - so the input target, for example, just barely reachable or not reachable - the vehicle is operated in a consumption optimization mode, in which the motor vehicle for the automatic implementation of measures operated to reduce the consumption of the motor vehicle until the achievement of the objective. Each of the measures is continuously evaluated with regard to their influence on the achievable reduction in consumption. In addition, each of the measures is also evaluated on an ongoing basis for their influence on a driver's restriction of the motor vehicle. During the consumption optimization mode, in other words, different measures for reducing the energy consumption of the motor vehicle are brought about, so that the driver can achieve his desired goal without refueling and / or recharging a battery. Depending on the driving mode preferably different measures are taken. The individual measures are activated and deactivated depending on their respective continuously determined influences on the reduction in consumption and on the restriction of the driver until the destination is reached, so that the motor vehicle reaches the destination with a remaining range which corresponds at least to the threshold value and the restriction of the Driver is minimized by the measures. The described method therefore does not mean that the driver has to take care of the most economical way of driving and / or further measures for achieving the destination that lower the consumption of the vehicle. He is taken to the fear of lying down and he is not limited beyond what is necessary in his driving style. The driver can thus reach the destination as dynamically as possible even with a relatively low fuel tank level or with a relatively low battery level. It can be provided that the consumption optimization mode is activated only after confirmation by the driver.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass mehrere der folgenden Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchssenkung bis zur Erreichung des Ziels durchgeführt werden: In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that several of the following measures for reducing consumption are carried out until the achievement of the goal:
- Ausgeben von Warnhinweisen hinsichtlich der Fahrweise des Fahrers; - Reduzieren der maximal abrufbaren Leistung des Kraftfahrzeugs;  - issuing warnings regarding the driving style of the driver; - reducing the maximum retrievable power of the motor vehicle;
- Reduzieren des maximal abrufbaren Drehmoments des Kraftfahrzeugs; - Reduce the maximum retrievable torque of the motor vehicle;
- Begrenzen der erzielbaren Höchstgeschwindigkeit des Kraftfahrzeugs;Limiting the achievable maximum speed of the motor vehicle;
- Reduzieren der Leistungsaufnahme von zumindest einem elektrischen Verbraucher des Kraftfahrzeugs, wie beispielsweise von einer Klimaan- läge, einem Infotainmentsystem, Displays, Beleuchtungseinheiten und dergleichen; Reducing the power consumption of at least one electrical consumer of the motor vehicle, such as an air conditioning system, an infotainment system, displays, lighting units and the like;
- Deaktivieren eines Allradantriebs des Kraftfahrzeugs;  - Disabling an all-wheel drive of the motor vehicle;
- Ausgeben von Navigationshinweisen zur Zielerrichtung entlang einer ermittelten verbrauchsoptimierten Route; - Abkoppeln eines Motors des Kraftfahrzeugs von einem Getriebe des Kraftfahrzeugs; Outputting navigation instructions for targeting along a determined consumption-optimized route; - Uncoupling an engine of the motor vehicle from a transmission of the motor vehicle;
- Absenken eines Fahrwerks des Kraftfahrzeugs;  - Lowering a chassis of the motor vehicle;
- Einstellen eines Druckpunktes mittels eines aktiven Fahrpedals des Kraftfahrzeugs, welcher eine nicht zu überschreitende Fahrpedalstellung signalisiert;  - Setting a pressure point by means of an active accelerator pedal of the motor vehicle, which signals a not to be exceeded accelerator pedal position;
- Reduzieren der Leistungsaufnahme eines Motorkühlsystems.  - Reduce the power consumption of an engine cooling system.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Bewertung der Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung und/oder die Einschränkung des Fahrers in Abhängigkeit von fortlaufend bereitgestellten Umgebungsbedingungen des Kraftfahrzeugs erfolgt. Vorzugsweise werden als die Umgebungsbedingungen zumindest eine der folgenden Größen bereitgestellt: In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the evaluation of the measures in terms of their influence on the achievable fuel consumption and / or the limitation of the driver in response to continuously provided ambient conditions of the motor vehicle takes place. Preferably, at least one of the following quantities are provided as the environmental conditions:
- die Umgebungstemperatur;  - the ambient temperature;
- die Luftfeuchtigkeit;  - humidity;
- die Umgebungshelligkeit;  - the ambient brightness;
- die Straßenbeschaffenheit;  - the road condition;
- die Straßenart;  - the street type;
- die Kurvigkeit der Straße;  - the curviness of the road;
- das Gefälle der Straße;  - the slope of the road;
- Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen.  - Speed limits.
Je nach Umgebungsbedingungen werden vorzugsweise möglichst diejenigen Maßnahmen ergriffen, die bei den gegebenen Umgebungsbedingungen zu einer besonders großen Verbrauchsoptimierung des Kraftfahrzeugs beitragen und dabei gleichzeitig einen möglichst geringen Eingriff für den Fahrer darstellen. Beispielsweise kann die Reduzierung der Leistungsaufnahme einer Klimaanlage des Kraftfahrzeugs bei relativ niedrigen Umgebungstem- peraturen und niedrigen Luftfeuchtigkeiten zum einen eine hohe Verbrauchsoptimierung erzielen und zum anderen wird diese Maßnahme gegebenenfalls vom Fahrer überhaupt nicht oder nur kaum wahrgenommen. Oder sollten die Verkehrsbedingungen beispielsweise derart sein, dass es sehr unwahrscheinlich ist, dass der Fahrer besonders dynamisch fahren wird, bei- spielsweise weil die Straße sehr kurvig ist, die Verkehrsdichte besonders hoch ist oder dergleichen, so könnte ein Eingriff hinsichtlich einer Reduzierung der Leistungs- und/oder Drehmomentbereitstellung des Antriebsstrangs des Kraftfahrzeugs zum einen zu einer relativ hohen Verbrauchsersparnis führen und zum anderen von dem Fahrer nicht weiter negativ wahrgenommen werden. Depending on the ambient conditions, preferably those measures are taken which, given the prevailing ambient conditions, contribute to a particularly high fuel consumption optimization of the motor vehicle and at the same time represent the least possible intervention for the driver. For example, the reduction in power consumption of an air conditioning system of the motor vehicle at relatively low ambient temperatures and low humidities on the one hand achieve a high consumption optimization and on the other hand, this measure may not be perceived by the driver or only barely perceived. Or, should the traffic conditions be such that it is very unlikely that the driver will drive particularly dynamically, for example because the road is very winding, the traffic density is particularly high or the like, an intervention could result in a reduction in performance. and / or torque provision of the drive train of the motor vehicle on the one hand to a relatively high consumption savings On the other hand, the driver does not perceive it as negative.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Bewertung der Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die Einschränkung des Fahrers in Abhängigkeit von einem bereitgestellten, das Fahrverhalten charakterisierenden Fahrerprofils erfolgt. Dafür können beispielsweise fortlaufend Daten ermittelt werden, mittels welchen die Fahrweise des Fahrers charakterisiert und quantifiziert werden kann. Anhand des bereitgestellten Fahrerprofils kann also ermittelt werden, ob es sich um einen besonders zurückhaltenden oder gegebenenfalls um einen besonders dynamischen Fahrer handelt. Je nach Fahrerprofil kann dann bewertet werden, welche der Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchssenkung des Kraftfahrzeugs in Abhängigkeit des Fahrertyps von diesem Fahrer als störend oder als weniger störend empfunden werden. Dadurch kann die Bewertung der Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die Einschränkungen des Fahrers individuell und somit besonders gut an den jeweiligen Fahrer angepasst erfolgen. In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the evaluation of the measures in terms of their influence on the limitation of the driver in response to a provided, the driving behavior characterizing driver profile. For example, data can be continuously determined by means of which the driving style of the driver can be characterized and quantified. On the basis of the provided driver profile can thus be determined whether it is a particularly restrained or possibly a particularly dynamic driver. Depending on the driver profile can then be assessed which of the measures to reduce fuel consumption of the motor vehicle depending on the driver type are perceived by this driver as disturbing or less disturbing. Thus, the evaluation of the measures with regard to their influence on the limitations of the driver can be done individually and thus particularly well adapted to the respective driver.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass je größer der Einfluss der jeweiligen Maßnahmen auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung und die Einschränkung des Fahrers bewertet wird, ein umso größerer Verbrauchssenkungswert und ein umso größerer Einschränkungswert den jeweiligen Maßnahmen zugewiesen und bei der Aktivierung und Deaktivierung der Maßnahmen berücksichtigt wird. Mit anderen Worten wird also eine Art Kennzahlensystem verwendet, anhand dessen zum einen die Einschränkung des Fahrers durch die jeweiligen Maßnahmen und zum anderen das jeweilige Verbrauchssenkungspotenzial bewertet wird. Anhand der jeweiligen Verbrauchssenkungswerte und der Einschränkungswerte kann besonders exakt ermittelt werden, welche der Maßnahmen idealerweise zu ergreifen sind, um eine möglichst starke Verbrauchssenkung zu erzielen und zum anderen dabei den Fahrer möglichst wenig in seinem gewünschten Fahrverhalten einzuschränken. Beispielsweise können jeweilige Quotienten aus den Verbrauchssenkungswerten und den Einschränkungswerten für die jeweiligen Maßnahmen gebildet und dadurch entsprechende Maßzahlen er- mittelt werden, welche untereinander vergleichbar sind, um so die optimalen Maßnahmen auszuwählen, welche ein möglichst optimales Verhältnis zwischen der durch die betreffende Maßnahme erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung dem Grad der Einschränkung des Fahrers aufweisen. Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Aktivierung und Deaktivierung von zumindest einer der Maßnahmen in Abhängigkeit davon erfolgt, ob ein die Längsführung des Kraftfahrzeugs steuerndes Fahrerassistenzsystem aktiviert ist. Dabei kann es sich beispielswei- se um einen herkömmlichen Tempomaten oder auch um einen Abstandsre- geltempomaten handeln, der bei der Geschwindigkeitsregelung des Kraftfahrzeugs den Abstand zu einem vorausfahrenden Fahrzeug als zusätzliche Rückführ- und Stellgröße einbezieht. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, dass Warnhinweise an den Fahrer bezüglich seines Fahrstils nicht ausgegeben werden, falls ein Tempomat oder ein Abstandsregeltempomat aktiviert sein sollte. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es auch möglich, dass bei aktiviertem Tempomat oder Abstandsregeltempomat kein Druckpunkt mittels eines aktiven Fahrpedals des Kraftfahrzeugs eingestellt wird, welcher eine nicht zu überschreitende Fahrpedalstellung signalisiert. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es auch möglich, dass bei aktiviertem Tempomat oder Abstandsregeltempomat kein Segelbetrieb des Kraftfahrzeugs als Verbrauchssenkungsmaßnahme ergriffen wird. Ferner kann es alternativ oder zusätzlich auch vorgesehen sein, dass zumindest bei aktiviertem herkömmlichen Tempomaten kein prädiktiver Effizienzassistent als Verbrauchssenkungsmaßnahme akti- viert wird, bei welchem der Fahrer in Abhängigkeit von Daten, welche die Streckenführung, Tempolimits und dergleichen beschreiben, zu einem besonders ökonomischen Fahren angehalten wird. In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the greater the influence of the respective measures on the achievable reduction in fuel consumption and the driver's impairment is assessed, the greater reduction in consumption and the greater restriction value assigned to the respective measures and in the activation and deactivation measures are taken into account. In other words, a kind of performance indicator system is used, on the one hand, which evaluates the driver's restriction by the respective measures and, on the other hand, the respective potential for reducing consumption. On the basis of the respective consumption reduction values and the restriction values, it can be determined with particular precision which of the measures should ideally be taken in order to achieve the greatest possible reduction in fuel consumption and, on the other hand, to limit the driver as little as possible in his desired driving behavior. For example, respective quotients can be formed from the consumption reduction values and the restriction values for the respective measures, and corresponding measurement numbers can be determined which are comparable with one another in order to select the optimal measures which optimally achieve a relationship between the reduction in consumption achievable by the measure concerned Degree of restriction of the driver. A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the activation and deactivation of at least one of the measures takes place depending on whether a driver assistance system controlling the longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle is activated. This may be, for example, a conventional cruise control system or else a cruise control system which, in the cruise control of the motor vehicle, incorporates the distance to a vehicle in front as an additional feedback and manipulated variable. For example, it is conceivable that warnings to the driver with respect to his driving style are not output, if a cruise control or a cruise control should be activated. Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible that with activated cruise control or Abstandsregeltempomat no pressure point by means of an active accelerator pedal of the motor vehicle is set, which signals a not to be exceeded accelerator pedal position. Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible that when the cruise control or cruise control is activated no sailing operation of the motor vehicle is taken as a consumption reduction measure. Furthermore, it can alternatively or additionally also be provided that, at least when the conventional cruise control is activated, no predictive efficiency assistant is activated as a consumption reduction measure in which the driver is stopped in a particularly economical driving as a function of data which describe the routing, speed limits and the like becomes.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass der Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus deaktiviert wird, sobald das Kraftfahrzeug das Ziel erreicht hat.

Ein Kraftfahrzeug 10 ist in einer schematischen Darstellung in Fig. 1 gezeigt. Bei dem Kraftfahrzeug 10 kann es sich beispielsweise um ein reines Elektro- fahrzeug, um ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Verbrennungsmotor oder um ein Hybridfahrzeug handeln. Das Kraftfahrzeug 10 umfasst ein System 12 zum Betreiben des Kraftfahrzeugs 10, wobei das System 12 eine Navigationseinrichtung 14 und eine Steuereinrichtung 16 aufweist. Die Navigationseinrichtung 14 dient zum Erfassen eines von einem Fahrzeuginsassen eingegebenen Ziels. Die Steuereinrichtung 16 ist dazu ausgelegt, zu ermitteln, welche Restreichweite das Kraftfahrzeug 10 am Ziel aufweisen wird. Die Ermittlung der Restreichweite kann beispielsweise auf Basis von bisherigen Verbrauchsdaten, der Streckenführung bis zum Ziel, anhand eines hinterlegten Fahrerprofils und auf Basis von unterschiedlichsten physikalischen Modellen erfolgen. A motor vehicle 10 is shown in a schematic representation in Fig. 1. The motor vehicle 10 may be, for example, a pure electric vehicle, a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine or a hybrid vehicle. The motor vehicle 10 comprises a system 12 for operating the motor vehicle 10, the system 12 having a navigation device 14 and a control device 16. The navigation device 14 is for detecting a destination input from a vehicle occupant. The control device 16 is designed to determine which remaining range the motor vehicle 10 will have at its destination. The remaining range can be determined, for example, on the basis of previous consumption data, the route to the destination, on the basis of a stored driver profile and on the basis of a wide variety of physical models.
Die Steuereinrichtung 16 ist dazu ausgelegt, das Kraftfahrzeug 10 in einem Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus zu betreiben, bei welchem das Kraftfahrzeug 10 zur automatischen Durchführung von Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchssenkung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 bis zur Erreichung des Ziels betrieben wird, falls die ermittelte Restreichweite geringer als ein vorgegebener Schwellwert ist. Mit anderen Worten wird das Kraftfahrzeug 10 also in dem besagten Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus betrieben, falls anhand der ermittelten benötigten Energiemenge zur Zielerreichung erfasst wird, dass die benötigte Energiemenge mit einer vorhandenen Batterieladung und/oder einer vorhandenen Tankfüllung des Kraftfahrzeugs nur knapp oder gar nicht erreichbar ist. Vorzugsweise wird der Fahrer über diesen Umstand informiert. Er kann sich nun für eine Aktivierung des Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus entscheiden. The control device 16 is designed to operate the motor vehicle 10 in a consumption optimization mode, in which the motor vehicle 10 is operated to automatically implement measures to reduce the consumption of the motor vehicle 10 until the target is reached, if the determined residual range is less than a predefined threshold value. In other words, the motor vehicle 10 is thus operated in the said consumption optimization mode, if it is detected on the basis of the determined required amount of energy to achieve the goal that the required amount of energy with an existing battery charge and / or an existing tank filling the motor vehicle is only slightly or not reachable. Preferably, the driver is informed about this circumstance. He can now opt for activation of the consumption optimization mode.
Die Steuereinrichtung 16 ist dazu ausgelegt, jede der Maßnahmen zur Ver- brauchssenkung fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung zu bewerten und jede der Maßnahmen fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf eine Einschränkung des Fahrers des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 zu bewerten. Die Steuereinrichtung 16 ist zudem dazu ausgelegt, die einzelnen Maßnahmen in Abhängigkeit von ihren jeweiligen fortlaufend ermittelten Einflüssen auf die Verbrauchssenkung und auf die Einschränkung des Fahrers bis zum Erreichen des Ziels derart zu aktiveren und zu deaktivieren, dass das Kraftfahrzeug 10 das Ziel mit einer Restreichweite erreicht, welche zumindest dem Schwellwert entspricht und die Ein- schränkung des Fahrers durch die Maßnahmen minimiert wird. The control device 16 is designed to continuously evaluate each of the measures for reducing consumption in terms of its influence on the resulting reduction in fuel consumption and to evaluate each of the measures continuously with regard to their influence on a restriction of the driver of the motor vehicle 10. The controller 16 is also adapted to the individual measures depending on their respective to continuously activate and deactivate influences on the reduction in consumption and the driver's restriction until the destination has been reached, so that the motor vehicle 10 reaches the destination with a remaining range which corresponds at least to the threshold value and the restriction of the driver by the measures is minimized.
In Fig. 2 sind in einer schematischen Darstellung die Steuereinrichtung 16, die Navigationseinrichtung 14, ein Tempomat 20, ein Infotainmentsystem 22, eine Klimaanlage 24, ein Fahrwerk 26 sowie ein Motor 28 des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 schematisch dargestellt. Nachfolgend wird ein Verfahren zum Betreiben des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 näher erläutert. In Fig. 2, the control device 16, the navigation device 14, a cruise control 20, an infotainment system 22, an air conditioner 24, a chassis 26 and an engine 28 of the motor vehicle 10 are shown schematically in a schematic representation. Hereinafter, a method for operating the motor vehicle 10 will be explained in more detail.
Nach Zieleingabe in der Navigationseinrichtung 14 wird auf Basis von bisherigen Verbrauchsdaten und physikalischen Modellen die benötigte Energie- menge zur Zielerreichung mittels der Steuereinrichtung 16 berechnet. Diese berechnete Energiemenge wird beispielsweise mit einer noch vorhandenen Batterieladung und/oder einer aktuellen Tankfüllung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 verglichen. Sollte das Ziel nur knapp oder gar nicht erreichbar sein, wird der Fahrer über diesen Umstand informiert. Er kann nun bestätigen, dass der Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus mittels der Steuereinrichtung 16 aktiviert werden soll. Über unterschiedlichste Maßnahmen wird nun eine Absenkung des Energieverbrauchs des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 mittels der Steuereinrichtung 16 herbeigeführt, so dass der Fahrer sein Wunschziel erreichen kann. Insbesondere werden je nachdem, ob der Tempomat 20 aktiviert ist oder nicht, unterschiedliche Maßnahmen durch die Steuereinrichtung 16 ergriffen. Der Fahrer muss sich also nicht selbst um eine möglichst sparsame Fahrweise zum Erreichen des Fahrziels kümmern. Es wird ihm die Angst vor dem Liegenbleiben genommen und er wird nicht über das Nötigste hinaus in seiner Fahrweise eingeschränkt. After destination input in the navigation device 14, the required amount of energy for target achievement is calculated by means of the control device 16 on the basis of previous consumption data and physical models. This calculated amount of energy is compared for example with a remaining battery charge and / or a current tank filling the motor vehicle 10. If the destination is barely or not at all attainable, the driver is informed about this circumstance. He can now confirm that the consumption optimization mode is to be activated by means of the control device 16. A variety of measures a lowering of the energy consumption of the motor vehicle 10 is now brought about by means of the control device 16, so that the driver can reach his desired goal. In particular, different measures are taken by the control device 16, depending on whether the cruise control 20 is activated or not. The driver does not have to worry about the most economical way of driving to reach the destination. He is taken to the fear of lying down and he is not limited beyond the bare essentials in his driving style.
Bei aktiviertem Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus werden zahlreiche Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung des Energieverbrauchs des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 ergriffen. Hierzu zählen zum Beispiel: Warnhinweise bezüglich der Fahrweise, um eine Verbrauchsreduzierung zu erzielen; eine Reduktion der maximal abruf- baren Leistung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10; eine Reduzierung des maximal abrufbaren Drehmoments des Kraftfahrzeugs 10; eine Begrenzung der erzielbaren Höchstgeschwindigkeit des Kraftfahrzeugs 10; eine Reduzierung der Leistungsaufnahme von zumindest einem elektrischen Verbraucher des Kraftfahrzeugs 10, wie beispielsweise der Klimaanlage 24, des Infotainment- Systems 22, von Displays oder Beleuchtungseinrichtungen zur Innenraumbeleuchtung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 oder auch der Scheinwerfer. Darüber hinaus kann beispielsweise auch eine Deaktivierung eines Allradantriebs des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 erfolgen. Ferner können auch Navigationshinweise zur Zielerreichung entlang einer ermittelten verbrauchsoptimierten Route erfolgen. Zudem kann es auch vorgesehen sein, dass das Kraftfahrzeug 10 teilweise in einem sogenannten Segelmodus betrieben wird, bei welchem eine Abkopplung des Motors 28 des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 von einem Getriebe des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 erfolgt. Falls das Kraftfahrzeugs 10 über ein verstellbares Fahrwerk verfügen sollte, kann auch eine Absenkung des Fahrwerks des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 zur Reduzierung des Luftwiderstands des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 vorgenommen werden. Falls das Kraftfahrzeug 10 ein aktives Fahrpedal aufweist, kann es auch vorgesehen sein, dass ein Druckpunkt mittels des aktiven Fahrpedals eingestellt wird, welcher eine nicht zu überschreitende Fahrpedalstellung signalisiert. Darüber hinaus kann es auch vorgesehen sein, eine Leistungsaufnahme eines Motorkühlsystems des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 zu reduzieren. Ferner kann es auch noch vorgesehen sein, dass ein prä- diktiver Effizienzassistent des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 aktiviert wird, mittels welchem der Fahrer zu einer besonders ökonomischen Fahrweise über entspre- chend eingeblendete Informationen angehalten wird, wobei der prädiktive Effizientassistent Informationen über eine Streckenführung, Tempolimits und dergleichen entlang einer zur Zielerreichung ermittelten Route vorausschauend analysiert. Bei dem Tempomaten 20 kann es sich um einen herkömmlichen Tempoma- ten handeln, welcher einfach eine eingestellte Geschwindigkeit des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 hält. Alternativ kann es sich bei dem Tempomaten 20 auch um einen sogenannten Abstandsregeltempomaten handeln. Falls der Tempomat 20 nicht aktiviert sein sollte, wird dem Fahrer durch einen Druckpunkt des aktiven Fahrpedals - sofern das Kraftfahrzeug 10 über ein solches Pedal verfügt - eine empfohlene Fahrpedalstellung signalisiert. In der nachfolgenden Tabelle sind exemplarisch unterschiedlichste Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchssenkung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 aufgelistet, wobei je Maßnahme durch ein „x" gekennzeichnet ist, welche der Maßnahmen in Abhängigkeit davon, ob der Fahrer selbst fährt, ob es sich bei dem Tempomaten 20 um einen herkömmlichen Tempomaten oder um einen Abstandsregeltempomaten handelt, aktiviert werden. When the consumption optimization mode is activated, numerous measures are taken to reduce the energy consumption of the motor vehicle 10. These include, for example: warnings regarding the driving style in order to achieve a reduction in fuel consumption; a reduction of the maximum retrievable power of the motor vehicle 10; a reduction of the maximum retrievable torque of the motor vehicle 10; a limit on the achievable maximum speed of the motor vehicle 10; a reduction of the power consumption of at least one electrical load of the motor vehicle 10, such as the air conditioning 24, the infotainment Systems 22, of displays or lighting devices for the interior lighting of the motor vehicle 10 or the headlights. In addition, for example, a deactivation of an all-wheel drive of the motor vehicle 10 take place. Furthermore, navigation instructions for goal achievement can also be made along a determined consumption-optimized route. In addition, it may also be provided that the motor vehicle 10 is partially operated in a so-called sailing mode, in which a decoupling of the engine 28 of the motor vehicle 10 is carried out by a transmission of the motor vehicle 10. If the motor vehicle 10 should have an adjustable chassis, a lowering of the chassis of the motor vehicle 10 to reduce the air resistance of the motor vehicle 10 can be made. If the motor vehicle 10 has an active accelerator pedal, it can also be provided that a pressure point is set by means of the active accelerator pedal, which signals a not to be exceeded accelerator pedal position. In addition, it may also be provided to reduce a power consumption of an engine cooling system of the motor vehicle 10. Furthermore, it can also be provided that a predictive efficiency assistant of the motor vehicle 10 is activated, by means of which the driver is stopped for a particularly economical driving style via correspondingly displayed information, wherein the predictive efficiency assistant contains information about a route, speed limits and the like analyzed in a forward-looking manner along a route determined to reach the target. The cruise control 20 may be a conventional cruise control which simply maintains a set speed of the motor vehicle 10. Alternatively, the cruise control 20 may also be a so-called adaptive cruise control. If the cruise control 20 should not be activated, the driver is signaled by a pressure point of the active accelerator pedal - if the motor vehicle 10 has such a pedal - a recommended accelerator pedal position. In the following table, the most varied measures for reducing the consumption of motor vehicle 10 are listed by way of example, whereby each measure is identified by an "x", which of the measures depends on whether the driver himself drives, whether it is in the cruise control 20 to a conventional cruise control or an adaptive cruise control, are activated.

Die Aktivierung der unterschiedlichen Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchsreduktion des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 erfolgt gestaffelt in mehreren Eskalationsstufen. Der Einfluss der einzelnen Maßnahmen auf die Verbrauchsreduzierung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 wird laufend dynamisch berechnet und unter Berücksichtung der Auswirkungen auf den Fahrer bewertet. The activation of the various measures to reduce fuel consumption of the motor vehicle 10 is staggered in several escalation stages. The influence of the individual measures on the reduction in consumption of the motor vehicle 10 is calculated continuously dynamically and evaluated taking into account the effects on the driver.
Mit anderen Worten wird also jede der Maßnahmen fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung bewertet. Darüber hinaus wird jede der Maßnahmen auch fortlaufend hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf eine Einschränkung des Fahrers des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 bewertet. Die einzelnen Maßnahmen werden in Abhängigkeit von ihren jeweili- gen fortlaufend ermittelten Einflüssen auf die Verbrauchssenkung und auf die Einschränkung des Fahrers bis zum Erreichen des Ziels derart aktiviert und deaktiviert, dass das Kraftfahrzeug 10 das Ziel mit einer Restreichweite erreicht, welche zumindest einem vorgegebenen Schwellwert entspricht und die Einschränkung des Fahrers durch die Maßnahmen minimiert wird. In other words, each of the measures is continuously assessed for its impact on the resulting reduction in consumption. Moreover, each of the measures is also continuously evaluated for its influence on a driver's restriction of the motor vehicle 10. The individual measures will depend on their respective gen continuously activated influences on the reduction in consumption and on the limitation of the driver until reaching the destination so activated and deactivated that the motor vehicle 10 reaches the target with a remaining range, which corresponds to at least a predetermined threshold and the driver's limitation is minimized by the measures ,
Die Bewertung der Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 und/oder die Einschränkung des Fahrers erfolgt in Abhängigkeit von fortlaufend bereitgestell- ten Umgebungsbedingungen des Kraftfahrzeugs 10. Als die Umgebungsbedingungen können beispielsweise die Umgebungstemperatur, die Luftfeuchtigkeit, die Umgebungshelligkeit, die Straßenbeschaffenheit, die Straßenart, die Kurvigkeit der Straße, das Gefälle der Straße oder etwaige Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen entlang der Strecke bis zur Zielerreichung berücksichtigt werden. Darüber hinaus kann die Bewertung der Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die Einschränkung des Fahrers in Abhängigkeit von einem bereitgestellten, das Fahrverhalten des Fahrers charakterisierenden Fahrerprofils erfolgen. Den unterschiedlichen Maßnahmen werden, je größer der Einfluss der jeweiligen Maßnahme auf die dadurch erzielbare Verbrauchssenkung und die Einschränkung des Fahrers ist, jeweils ein umso größerer Verbrauchssenkungswert und ein umso größerer Einschränkungswert zugewiesen und bei der Aktivierung und Deaktivierung der Maßnahmen berücksichtigt. Es wer- den also entlang der Route bis zum Ziel die unterschiedlichen Maßnahmen immer derart aktiviert und deaktiviert, dass zum einen das Ziel mit der aktuellen Batterieladung und/oder der aktuellen Tankfüllung des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 erreicht werden kann, und zum anderen der Fahrer in seiner üblichen Fahrweise durch gerade aktivierten Maßnahmen besonders wenig eingeschränkt wird. Der Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs 10 kann also bei aktiviertem Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus auch bei einem relativ niedrigen Kraftstoffbehälterstand und/oder Batterieladestand noch möglichst dynamisch sein Fahrziel erreichen. Der Verbrauchsoptimierungsmodus wird deaktiviert, sobald das Kraftfahrzeug 10 das Ziel erreicht hat. Die zuvor aktivierten Maßnahmen zur Verbrauchsreduzierung müssen also nicht wieder manuell vom Fahrer deaktiviert werden, wenn er wieder mit Kraftfahrzeug 10 weiter fahren möchte. The evaluation of the measures with regard to their influence on the achievable reduction in fuel consumption of the motor vehicle 10 and / or the limitation of the driver takes place depending on continuously provided ambient conditions of the motor vehicle 10. As the ambient conditions, for example, the ambient temperature, the humidity, the ambient brightness, the Road surface, the curvature of the road, the gradient of the road or any speed limits along the route to reach the target. In addition, the evaluation of the measures can be carried out with regard to their influence on the driver's restriction as a function of a driver profile provided which characterizes the driving behavior of the driver. The different measures, the greater the influence of each measure on the resulting reduction in fuel consumption and the driver's restriction, are each assigned an even greater reduction in consumption and an even greater restriction value and taken into account when activating and deactivating the measures. Thus, along the route to the destination, the different measures are always activated and deactivated in such a way that on the one hand the destination can be reached with the current battery charge and / or the current tank filling of the motor vehicle 10, and on the other the driver in his usual Driving style is particularly limited by currently activated measures. The driver of the motor vehicle 10 can thus reach the destination as dynamically as possible even with a relatively low fuel tank level and / or battery level when the consumption optimization mode is activated. The consumption optimization mode is deactivated as soon as the motor vehicle 10 has reached the destination. The previously activated measures for reducing fuel consumption therefore do not have to be manually deactivated again by the driver if he wants to continue driving with motor vehicle 10.
