Predictive method for operating a vehicle and corresponding driver assistance system for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for operating a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a recuperation unit to recuperate kinetic energy from the vehicle and an output apparatus to output driving information and wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- determining at least one first parameter denoting possible imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,evaluating whether actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, on the basis of the at least one ascertained first parameter,if it is ascertained that actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, calculating a probable profile for a speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit on the basis of a prescribable level of a recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,generating at least one second parameter denoting the ascertained probable profile of the speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,determining a probable braking path for the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit on the basis of the prescribable level of the recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit;
generating at least one third parameter, denoting the ascertained probable braking path of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit; and
displaying the at least one second parameter and the at least one third parameter with the output apparatus.

Abstract
A method for controlling operation of a vehicle with a recuperation unit may include determining at least one first parameter denoting possible imminent actuation of the recuperation unit, evaluating whether actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, and if yes, calculating a probable profile for a speed of the vehicle during the actuation on the basis of a prescribable level of a recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit. The method may also include generating at least one second parameter denoting the ascertained probable profile of the speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit and displaying the at least one second parameter with an output apparatus.
