Device and method for detecting driving data of a motor vehicle comprising and electronically controllable drive train
First Claim
1. Apparatus for registering travel data of a motor vehicle having an electronically actuated drive train, said apparatus comprising:
- operator control elements for generating activation signals to control the drive train, said activation signals representing a control operation which is performed by a driver of the motor vehicle;
an actuation device for activation-signal-dependent generation of actuation signals for the drive train, the actuation signals representing conversion of the activation signals by the actuation device;
a sensor device for determining actual vehicle data regarding vehicle dynamics, the actual vehicle data representing travel dynamics which have actually been carried out by the drive train;
a time-registering device for generating time data;
a position-determining device for determining position data of the motor vehicle; and
a storage device for at least temporarily storing the activation signals, the actuation signals, the actual vehicle data and the time and position data;
wherein the activation signals, the actuation signals and the actual vehicle data form a data train for mapping an action chain which results from the control operation performed by the driver of the motor vehicle.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for registering travel data of a motor vehicle with an electronically actuated drive train, utilizing a sensor device for determining actual vehicle data which relates to the travel dynamics, a time-registration device for generating time data, a position-determining device for determining position data of a motor vehicle, and a storage device for at least temporarily storing the actual vehicle, time and position data. The storage device is coupled to operator control elements for the driver-end generation of activation signals for influencing the drive train, and an actuation device for the activation-signal-dependent generation of actuation signals for the drive train. The storage device is designed to store at least temporarily the activation signals and the actuation signals.
