Method for controlling a workload of a bus system of a means of transport, and bus system and means of transport

1. A method for controlling a utilization of a bus system of a transportation means, comprising the steps of:

determining a first piece of information representing a current and/or a future utilization of the bus system,

determining a second piece of information representing respective data transmission time periods for a plurality of bus subscribers which transmit data by means of the bus system as a function of the first piece of information, wherein the determining of the second piece of information is based at least in part on at least one of the group consisting of,

an estimation of a time period of a future parking operation;

a current route of the transportation means, and

future environmental conditions relating to transportation means;

adjusting respective data transmission time periods for the plurality of bus subscribers by the respective bus subscribers, as a function of the second piece of information, and

transmitting data by the plurality of bus subscribers within the respective adjusted data transmission time periods using the bus system.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bus system is an automotive bus system.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second piece of information comprises a piece of information about at least one of the group consisting of:

a start time point and/or an end time point for a data transmission time period;

a start time point and/or an end time point for a time period without a data transmission;

a category of data which are transmitted within the adjusted data transmission time periods;

an identifier for a bus subscriber and/or a group of bus subscribers;

a maximum permissible data volume for a data transmission; and

a mandatory or an optional execution of the data transmission within the suitable data transmission time periods.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second piece of information for each bus subscriber of the plurality of bus subscribers:

is identical; or

is determined individually and/or transmitted individually to said bus subscriber.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the determination of the first piece of information takes place based at least in part on

a predefined bus configuration; and/or

a measurement of the current utilization of the bus system.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second piece of information for each bus subscriber of the plurality of bus subscribers:

is identical; or

is determined individually and/or transmitted individually to said bus subscriber.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the determination of the second piece of information further takes place based at least in part on at least one of the group consisting of:

future bus usage time periods of respective bus subscribers; and

a future data transmission requirement of respective bus subscribers.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the determination of the first piece of information takes place based at least in part on:

a predefined bus configuration; and/or

a measurement of the current utilization of the bus system.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the determination of the second piece of information further takes place based at least in part on at least one of the group consisting of:

future bus usage time periods of respective bus subscribers; and

a future data transmission requirement of respective bus subscribers.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the determination of the second piece of information is carried out on the basis of a self-learning system.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a data packet to be transmitted is divided, as a function of the second piece of information, into suitable partial data packets which are transmitted sequentially by means of the bus system in accordance with the adjusted data transmission time periods.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bus system is an automotive bus system, the automotive bus system comprising an Ethernet bus system.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bus system comprises a CAN bus system.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the determination of the first piece of information takes place based at least in part on a measurement of the current utilization of the bus system.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the determination of the first piece of information takes place based at least in part on a predefined bus configuration.

16. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the determining of the second piece of information is based at least in part on a current route of the transportation means.

17. The method as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the determining of the second piece of information is based at least in part on future environmental conditions relating to transportation means.

18. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the determining of the second piece of information is based at least in part on future environmental conditions relating to transportation means.
