Method and arrangement for controlling a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a vehicle having an integrated electric starter which generates electric power and mechanical power and wherein several logic components are present and arranged in the context of a hierarchy and wherein the logic components communicate with each other via pregiven communications connections, the method comprising the steps of:
- subdividing at least a portion of said logic components into additional components with said logic components including the logic components “
drive” and
“
vehicle electric system”
;
allocating said electric starter to said logic component “
drive”
as a component “
electric drive”
with respect to the function of said electric starter of generating mechanical power so as to cause said electric starter to assume the function of a consumer during a first time of operation; and
, allocating said electric starter to said logic component “
vehicle electric system”
as a component “
generator”
with respect to the function of said electric starter of generating electric power so as to cause said electric starter to assume the function of a resource during a second time.

Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a motor vehicle having an integrated electric machine which generates electric as well as mechanical power. In the context of a hierarchal control structure having several logic components, the electric machine is allocated as a component “electric drive” to the component “drive” with respect to its function for generating mechanical power and as a component “generator” to the component “vehicle electric drive” with respect to its function for generating electric power.
