Patent ID: 8396619

Claim:
A motor vehicle control system for controlling a motor vehicle with a hybrid drive comprising an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, the vehicle control system comprising: a plurality of functional components, each divided into at least three sub-components; and the at least three sub-components comprising a strategy sub-component ( 8 ), a control sub-component ( 9 ) and an actuator sub-component ( 10 ), the plurality of functional components including at least: an internal combustion engine functional component ( 2 ) for controlling the internal combustion engine, a transmission functional component ( 3 ) for controlling a transmission and a dedicated hybrid functional component ( 4 ) for controlling only the electric motor and a clutch connected between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor such that; the strategy sub-component ( 8 ), of the hybrid functional component ( 4 ), comprises an operating status prescription module ( 17 ) which reads in a first quantity of data from functional components in order to determine a prescribed value for an operating status of the hybrid drive, wherein the operating status prescription module ( 17 ) comprises a first sub-module ( 27 ) and a second sub-module ( 29 ); the first sub-module ( 27 ), processes the first quantity of data in order to produce a smaller second quantity of output variables ( 28 ), and the second sub-module ( 29 ) utilizes the smaller second quantity of output variables ( 28 ) from the first sub-module ( 27 ), via an automatic status-determiner, to determine the prescribed value for the operating status of the hybrid drive.
