Drive control system for a motor vehicle which can be operated by electric motor and has a drive position selector device
A drive control system for a motor vehicle operated by electric motor has a drive position selector device and an electronic control unit which is connected to the drive position selector. The drive control system is configured in such a way that when a first alternative automatic drive position is selected a comparatively high, not freely selectable recuperation level can be predefined and crawl mode is deactivated, and when a second alternative automatic drive position is selected at least one constant recuperation level or a sailing mode can be predefined and crawl mode is activated.
1. A drive control system for a motor vehicle operable by an electric motor, comprising:
a drive position selector; and
an electronic control unit which is connected to the drive position selector and is configured such that:
when a first alternative automatic drive position is selected, a first, not freely selectable, recuperation level is predefinable and crawling is deactivated; and
when a second alternative automatic drive position is selected, at least one fixed second recuperation level or coasting operation is predefinable and crawling is activated.
2. The drive control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the drive position selector for selecting the first alternative automatic drive position or the second alternative automatic drive position has a self-resetting shift key or a manually reversible changeover switch.
3. The drive control system according to claim 1 , wherein
when the first alternative automatic drive position is selected, the vehicle is always prevented from rolling away when at a standstill, even without actuation of an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal.
4. The drive control system according to claim 3 , wherein
when the second alternative automatic drive position is selected, the vehicle is always prevented from rolling backward when at a standstill, even without actuation of the accelerator pedal and of the brake pedal.
5. The drive control system according to claim 4 , wherein
when the second alternative automatic drive position is selected and in a presence of an operating element for a controllable automatic holding function, when a standstill is reached, independently of the actuation of the operating element, the vehicle is prevented from rolling backward when at a standstill, even without actuation of the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, but rolling forward is permitted if the holding function is deactivated via the operating element.
6. The drive control system according to claim 4 , wherein
when a reverse drive position is selected and in a presence of an operating element for a controllable automatic holding function, when a standstill is reached, the vehicle is always prevented from rolling forward when at a standstill, even without actuation of the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, but rolling backward is permitted if the holding function is deactivated via the operating element.
7. The drive control system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display operating unit, by which the first or the second recuperation level is defined when the second alternative automatic drive position is selected.
8. The drive control system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display operating unit, by which the first or the second recuperation level is defined, wherein,
when the first alternative automatic drive position is selected, the first recuperation level is at least equal to a highest recuperation level that can be defined when the second alternative automatic drive position is selected.
9. The drive control system according to claim 1 , wherein
when the first alternative automatic drive position is selected when the vehicle is at a standstill, a standstill management function for preventing unintended rolling away is activated, by which driving onward is permitted only after activation of a brake pedal and/or an accelerator pedal.
10. The drive control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the first recuperation level is greater than or equal to the second recuperation level.
11. A computer product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code that, when executed by an electronic control unit, controls a drive control system of a vehicle having a drive position selector
when a first alternative automatic drive position is selected via the drive position selector, a first, not freely selectable, recuperation level is predefinable and crawling is deactivated; and
when a second alternative automatic drive position is selected via the drive position selector, at least one fixed second recuperation level or coasting operation is predefinable and crawling is activated.
12. The computer program product according to claim 11 , wherein
the first recuperation level is greater than or equal to the second recuperation level.
