METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE MASS OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A DEVICE OF THIS TYPE

摘要

A method for determining the mass m of a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, is based on the principles of power mechanics. In order to determine the vehicle mass in a simple way as accurately as possible while driving, a speed v of the motor vehicle is determined and a drive power PA of the motor vehicle is determined. The mass m of the motor vehicle can then be determined from the speed v and the drive power PA. A device applies such a method, and a motor vehicle includes such a device.
