Abstract:
1. Method for operating an air conditioning system that is operable both manually and automatically for a transportation means, whereby an automatic characteristic line is corrected based on a manual adjustment procedure, and whereby the air conditioning system comprises sensors for detecting operating state values influencing the climate in the transportation means and representing an operating state, actuators in the form of air conditioning system components, memory means having a plurality of automatic characteristic lines for different operating states which represent the fixedly predetermined dependencies between the operating state values detected and the manipulated variable components for actuators of the air conditioning system during automatic operation, and adjusting means for performing the manual adjusting operation and the issuance of manipulated variables for the actuators of the air conditioning system, the method comprising the acts of: detecting presence of a manual adjustment operation, determining a manipulated variable deviation between the manipulated variable set on the basis of the manual adjustment operation and the manipulated variable assigned to automatic operation when the operating state values are the same, determining a learning value by weighting the manipulated variable deviation using a weighting factor, adjusting the automatic characteristic line as a function of the learning value by weighting each learning value a weighting function over a range of several interpolation points, and correcting the automatic characteristic line to be weighted as a function of the weighted learning value at each of the interpolation points.
