Patent ID: 7374509

Claim:
A method for controlling a hybrid drive of a vehicle, the hybrid drive including as propulsion motors an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor/generator, and output shafts of the propulsion motors being operatively linkable to a power train of the vehicle, the method comprising: activating the propulsion motors and an electrically activatable braking system of the vehicle in a coordinated manner, as a function of a negative torque demand, and taking the negative torque demand into account; wherein to specify a setpoint wheel braking torque, an instantaneous transmission output torque signal is gated with a request signal of a brake pedal, wherein the request signal delivered by a brake pedal is interpreted within a range that is defined by operation-related state data of the braking system and instantaneous torque or power potentials of the hybrid drive, and wherein the signal delivered by the brake pedal is processed so that a maximum negative torque of the hybrid drive is assigned to a maximum negative torque demand position of the brake pedal, wherein the signal delivered by the brake pedal is processed so that a minimum negative torque of the hybrid drive is assigned to a minimum negative torque demand position of the brake pedal, and wherein values lying between the maximum and minimum negative torque are assigned to corresponding torque demand positions of the brake pedal.
