Method and Device for Operating a Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18548313 titled 'Method and Device for Operating a Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for operating a vehicle by sensing a setpoint for driving behavior, determining pilot control variables using vehicle models, and outputting setpoints for actuators based on the control variables.
- The method involves sensing a setpoint for driving behavior, such as a steering angle set by a driver.
- A first pilot control variable is determined using a model for the vehicle based on the setpoint.
- A second pilot control variable is determined using at least two partial models for the driving behavior, which differ due to the use of actuators.
- Based on the first and second pilot control variables, a setpoint for a first actuator is determined and outputted for actuation.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method is for operating a vehicle which has actuators for influencing a driving behavior of the vehicle. The method includes sensing a setpoint for the driving behavior, in particular a steering angle set by a driver, and depending on the setpoint for the driving behavior, a first pilot control variable is determined using a model for the vehicle. Depending on the first pilot control variable, a second pilot control variable is determined using at least two partial models for the driving behavior of the vehicle, which differ due to the use of at least one of the actuators. Depending on the first pilot control variable and depending on the second pilot variable, a first setpoint for a first actuator is determined. The first setpoint is output in order to actuate the first actuator.
