Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a control device of a motor vehicle while driving along a route. By means of the method it is checked whether the motor vehicle will actually stop at a preceding, potential stop point during the current journey.
  • the invention also includes the tax advantage direction as well as a motor vehicle with the control device.
  • Predicting or predicting a stall may be used in a motor vehicle to tune its operation prior to commencement of the stall so as to prevent, for example, unnecessary engagement of friction brakes to decelerate the motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is in a known stall. could also roll out.
  • a model is not currently synchronized with the associated traffic light, the model can not be used.
  • a motor vehicle is dependent on a preceding vehicle for synchronizing its model of a traffic light, which reports the switching operation, which is used for synchronization.
  • the method is limited to the forecast of switching times at traffic lights.
  • the invention has for its object to adapt the operation of a motor vehicle with respect to an imminent possible stopping process.
  • the object is achieved by the subjects of the independent Pa tenta.
  • the invention also includes developments as disclosed by the dependent claims, the following description and the figures.
  • the invention provides a method for operating a control device of a motor vehicle.
  • a control device may be designed, for example, as a control unit of the motor vehicle.
  • the method provides for the operation of the control device during a drive of the motor vehicle along a route.
  • the route may lead along a road network.
  • the route can be a planned route that has been read from a navigation system of the motor vehicle or an estimated route.
  • at least one potential stop point lying ahead along the route is now determined, at which point there is the possibility that the motor vehicle stops.
  • a potential stopping point can be stored or mapped, for example, in a digital map of the motor vehicle.
  • the control device determines a probability value for a probability that the motor vehicle will carry out a stopping process at the stopping point, ie actually stops or comes to a standstill.
  • the probability value is determined on the basis of a holding model.
  • the control device operates as a holding model a statistical model, which also provides intermediate values between 0% and 100% for the probability value. If the probability value then lies within a predetermined time interval, at least one predetermined operating measure is triggered by the control device.
  • the at least one predetermined operational measure is in each case adapted to adjust an operation of the motor vehicle to the Anhal tevorgang. For example, such a loading operation measure may be set up to reduce a fuel consumption of the motor vehicle caused by the stopping process and preferably to minimize it.
  • Another operational measure may be the targeted control of at least one secondary consumer. For example, the power of an electric refrigerant compressor can be increased to efficiently use the energy available by a recuperation operation.
  • the predicted stalling operation may be used for any function and / or vehicle component to enhance comfort or efficiency.
  • the said checked value interval thus defines the anticipated occurrence of the stopping process, ie it indicates all those probability values at which it is assumed that the stopping process will actually occur. In other words, it is assumed that the stopping process actually occurs if the probability value determined by the holding model lies within the predetermined value interval. For this case, then at least one operational measure is triggered, which prevents unnecessary consumption of fuel in the motor vehicle. For example, a coasting of the motor vehicle can be provided towards the breakpoint, instead of further driving the motor vehicle with engine power to then decelerate it with a friction brake.
  • the value interval preferably has an upper limit of 100% and a lower limit that is in a range of 50% to 90%.
  • the invention provides the advantage that fuel can be made possible in a stopping process at such stopping points, which are not connected for example by a traffic light, but are forced by, for example, a traffic or due to a confusing situation. If a motor vehicle also regularly stops here, this can be reproduced or simulated in the statistical model which is used as a holding model. In this case, a variance or irregularity can be compensated by the holding model in that no binary statement (stop yes or no) is generated, but a probability value is determined.
  • the Hal temodell can specify, for example, for at least one potential breakpoint a single probability value. The probability value can be determined by observing the driving behavior at the stopping point and indicating the ratio of actual stopping operations to the total number of observations.
  • the holding model can also provide a probability distribution for at least one potential stopping point, which can each indicate a probability value for different arrival times at the stopping point. But even with deterministic predetermined Abhaltevor courses, such as at a traffic light or on a
  • the holding model can still be used or adapted in the same way, so that such a holding point of the holding model can be considered.
  • the at least one operating measure is initiated, ie the operation of the motor vehicle is adapted to the stopping process, for example by reducing the fuel consumption resulting during the stopping process by means of the at least one operating measure is (as compared to a failure of the operating measure), so that the operation of the motor vehicle can run efficiently despite stopping process.
  • the invention also includes embodiments that provide additional benefits.
  • the method according to the invention can be applied to a large number of different stopping points.
  • An embodiment provides that as at least one potential stopping point in each case an intersection with right of way regulation and / or a roundabout and / or a stop sign and / or a traffic light and / or a driveway (for example on a fast road) and / or a barrier and / or a parking garage entrance is determined.
  • This list is only to be considered as an example.
  • the holding model may provide a statistical description indicating or providing a probability value for a stopping operation at the respective stopping point. If the motor vehicle then approaches the respective stopping point, the probability value for a stopping process can be determined for the stopping point by means of the holding model.
  • a stopping point where it depends on a circuit (for example a traffic light circuit or a barrier circuit) whether a stopping process will actually occur, it may be advantageous for the holding model to be connected to the circuit is synchronized at this stopping point. Unlike in the prior art, but this is not an attempt to observe the stopping point itself, so for example, the traffic light or barrier provided there. Rather, an embodiment provides that by the control device to a stopping point along the
  • Driving distance at least one of the arrival of the stopping point temporally preceding reference event is detected.
  • the Holding model is then the probability value concerning the stopping process at the stop point in question then determined as a function of the at least one detected reference event.
  • the reference event thus does not take place at the stopping point in question itself, but along the route before this stopping point.
  • the motor vehicle first passes the at least one reference event and only then reaches the stopping point.
  • the reference event is preferably correlated in time with the circuit at the stopping point, that is, for example, with the traffic light circuit or the barrier circuit. If the reference event occurs or is observed, it is known in which switching phase the circuit is at the stopping point, without the circuit at the stopping point itself having to be observed by a preceding other motor vehicle.
  • the holding model can determine the switching phase of the preceding stop in question itself (eg, the traffic light switching phase) and determine a probability value of a stopping process for the expected arrival time at the stopping point.
  • This embodiment provides the advantage that the Hal temodell can be adapted or adapted by recognizing the at least one reference event to the current driving situation.
  • Another example of a reference event is entering or exiting a garage. When moving out of the garage, the user of the motor vehicle may have the habit of first driving out of the garage and then stopping the motor vehicle at a stopping point in front of the garage once more to close the garage door. For this holding point can then be triggered at least one operating measure.
  • the user of the motor vehicle may have a habit of stopping in front of the garage to get out and open the garage.
  • the subsequent stopping point is then in the garage, for the at least one operating measure can be triggered during the entry into the garage ever.
  • a particularly considered by the invention reference event is to be seen according to an embodiment in that the at least one reference event is a starting process at a previous stopping point with a traffic light.
  • the Refe rence event represents the start of the motor vehicle when switching to the traffic light on the green phase.
  • a traffic light can be provided, so the holding model be synchronized with this traffic light of the next stop, if the two traffic lights have correlated switching phases. For example, a so-called green wave along the route can be used.
  • the holding model uses the respective probability value for the at least one potential stopping point as a function of traffic information and / or a respective indication of a time and / or a time of day (for example mornings, lunchtimes, afternoons, evenings, at night). and / or a day of the week (for example, Monday, Tuesday, ... Saturday, Sunday) and / or a season (for example, winter or spring or summer or fall) and / or a change of plan of a traffic light (main traffic, Mau horrszeit) is determined ,
  • the holding model is designed dynamically and is adapted to the respective prevailing or existing boundary condition
  • the retention model is preferably trained or adjusted over time by using observation data or training data to train or adapt the retention model.
  • the holding model at least partially trained or adapted by a driving condition of the motor vehicle is detected during at least one previous trip for at least one potential stopping point respectively in the motor vehicle upon reaching the respective stopping point.
  • the driving state un distinguishes between the stopping of the motor vehicle at the stopping point and a passage of the motor vehicle at the stopping point.
  • the passage means that the motor vehicle does not have to stop but remains in motion.
  • the holding model is then trained or adapted based on the detected driving condition. If the stopping of the motor vehicle is detected in the described embodiment, this increases the chance of likelihood in the holding model. If a passage is detected, the stop probability is correspondingly reduced in the holding model.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous for a motor vehicle, which is used by a commuter on a commute, that is, on a regularly or multiply traveled route.
  • the described embodiment has the particular advantage that the holding model can be locally trained or adapted by using only observation data from the motor vehicle itself and one of these after-image processing can be dispensed with, since only the driving condition of the motor vehicle has to be observed., Of course, also on the basis of image data of a camera, for example, a current switching state of a traffic light can be determined.
  • One embodiment provides that a driving operating state determined at a stopping point and determined in a traffic jam situation is discarded.

Additionally or alternatively, the at least one operational measure may include turning off a combustion engine of the motor vehicle. Another possible operational measure is the targeted control of auxiliary consumers of the electrical system during the expected stopping process. Thus, for example, the power of at least one electrified secondary consumer can be increased and / or the power of at least one non-electrified secondary consumer (eg by belt drive on the internal combustion engine) can be reduced.
  • the at least one operational measure has the advantage that the fuel consumption of the motor vehicle is reduced in comparison to a journey to the stopping point with a propulsion of the motor vehicle by the combus- tion engine and subsequent braking by friction brake.

The system simply learns the red and green waves and stores how long to stop at the red lights.

It is a further advantage of the invention that arrest probabilities are generally calculated, not just limited
