ABSTRACT:
The drive train of a motor vehicle is controlled by interpreting the position of the accelerator pedal as a wheel torque or transmission output torque desired by the driver. This information is utilized together with the position of the brake pedal for calculating central control parameters for the drive sources and decelerating units of the drive train. Data on local environmental pollution are taken into account in such a way that a drive mode of the motor vehicle, ascertained to whatever the current environmental conditions are, is ascertained and indicated to the driver. Unless the driver rejects this drive mode for special reasons, it is performed automatically.
