Method for operating a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, with a control device and with measuring instruments, which record current vehicle operating variables, which are fed to the control device, the vehicle always being used and moved along the same route with the same route profile, wherein, in the control device, vehicle operating variables are assigned by a learning algorithm to the course of the route, and consequently to the route profile, of this repeatedly driven route and are stored, wherein, during the journey, the control device detects on the basis of the variations over time of the current recorded vehicle operating variables and a comparison with the route-related learned and stored vehicle operating variables in each case on which particular section of the route with which route profile the vehicle is currently located at the time (1, 2, 3), wherein operating strategy instructions for an optimized manner of driving are set out in the control device for the course of the route and, when a particular section of the route is detected, they are in each case output for an intervention to be made in the driving of the vehicle (5, 6, 7), the operating strategy instructions appropriately taking into account and displaying the route profile of the detected section, characterized in that the vehicle is an urban bus operated as a scheduled bus in regular service, in that stops are recorded and evaluated by the control device as route profile elements, to which operating strategy instructions for an optimized manner of driving are assigned, and in that the operating strategy instructions are received and kept by a learning algorithm, in that, with the specification of optimized driving, an averaged operating strategy of multiple drivers over multiple routes is recorded and stored in the control device. with a control device and with measuring instruments, which record current vehicle operating variables, which are fed to the control device, the vehicle always being used and moved along the same route with the same route profile, wherein, in the control device, vehicle operating variables are assigned by a learning algorithm to the course of the route, and consequently to the route profile, of this repeatedly driven route and are stored, wherein, during the journey, the control device detects on the basis of the variations over time of the current recorded vehicle operating variables and a comparison with the route-related learned and stored vehicle operating variables in each case on which particular section of the route with which route profile the vehicle is currently located at the time (1, 2, 3), wherein operating strategy instructions for an optimized manner of driving are set out in the control device for the course of the route and, when a particular section of the route is detected, they are in each case output for an intervention to be made in the driving of the vehicle (5, 6, 7), the operating strategy instructions appropriately taking into account and displaying the route profile of the detected section, characterized in that the vehicle is an urban bus operated as a scheduled bus in regular service, in that stops are recorded and evaluated by the control device as route profile elements, to which operating strategy instructions for an optimized manner of driving are assigned, and in that the operating strategy instructions are received and kept by a learning algorithm, in that, with the specification of optimized driving, an averaged operating strategy of multiple drivers over multiple routes is recorded and stored in the control device.
