ABSTRACT:
A method for assisting the driver of a vehicle in the optimum use of the on-board energy supply, by consumption-oriented driving-power limitation, especially for electric vehicles. A permissible consumption rate related to the remaining distance is determined continuously starting from the available energy supply and this section consumption is used, taking into account the driving resistances, to determine a set point value which controls a device for driving-power limitation. In a preferred embodiment, an electronic accelerator pedal is provided, with a pedal travel divided into two angular ranges, the second angular range requiring an increased actuating force and being allocated to a power range inhibited in accordance with the set point value. The division into the two angular ranges is adjustable by means of a positioning motor as a function of the permissible section consumption.
