Device for evaluating and / or influencing vehicle operating variables and / or vehicle operating characteristics

摘要

The device according to the invention relates to a device for evaluating and/or influencing a vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior. For this purpose, the device has the following means: operator control means ( 10 ) with which the driver can generate predefined values (VG) for influencing at least one vehicle movement variable. Evaluation means ( 42, 44, 46, 48 ) with which the behavior of a vehicle movement variable with respect to a predefined value is evaluated, and/or with which the vehicle movement behavior is evaluated with respect to a predefined vehicle movement behavior as a function of vehicle movement variables and/or of variables which represent the surroundings of the vehicle. These evaluation means ( 42, 44, 46, 48 ) can be operated in at least two different operating states, only an information item (OHAx) relating to the behavior of the vehicle movement variable and/or relating to the vehicle movement behavior being made available to the driver in a first operating state as a function of the result of the evaluation which is carried out, and output signals (AGSx) for influencing a vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior independently of the driver being determined in a second operating state as a function of the result of the evaluation which is carried out. In addition, the device has influencing means ( 40 ) by means of which the driver can switch over the evaluation means ( 42, 44, 46, 48 ) between the at least two operating states. There is also provision of processing means ( 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 ) with which actuation signals (ASSx) for actuating actuators ( 26, 28, 30 ) which are arranged in the vehicle are generated on the basis of the predefined values (VG) which are generated by the driver and/or, if the evaluation means ( 42, 44, 46, 48 ) are operated in the second operating state, on the basis of the output signals (AGSx). The actuation of the actuator ( 26, 28, 30 ) influences the vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior.
