A configurable diagnostic data monitor that captures diagnostic data of a motor control system is provided. Triggers, and records generated using the triggers, are configurable using, for example, different parameters or logical operators. Triggers buffer data that can be made part of a record when a trigger condition is met. Memory used by a trigger and memory usage for records is monitored and notifications generated indicating memory required for a trigger. Configuration of a trigger can involve customized priority relative to other triggers, adjustable data parameters, a persistence parameter, and configurable saved data capture for rate and duration.

The present invention relates to a method for operating a driver model for controlling a vehicle. Acc.sup.Vehicle speed (kph) ntion, a vehicle .sub.Accelerator pedal [%] cle is selected and activated by the driver model from a number of vehicle statuses (301, 303, 305, 307, 309) by comparing a current status of the vehicle with at least one selection condition specified for a particular vehicle status, the number of vehicle statuses (301, 303, 305, 307, 309) comprising at least a first vehicle status (301, 303, 305, 307, 309) and a second vehicle status (301, 303, 305, 307, 309). Furthermore, the driver model, on activation of a particular vehicle status (301, 303, 305, 307, 309), enables at least one control command assigned to the vehicle status (301, 303, 305, 307, 309) for modifying a setting of the vehicle, wherein a plurality of changes are made by the driver model between a currently activated vehicle status (301, 303, 305, 307, 309) and at least one further vehicle status (301, 303, 305, 307, 309) and, for at least one change of the plurality of changes, a coasting status (303), in which the vehicle is coasting, is activated before any activation of the further vehicle status (301, 303, 305, 307, 309) by the driver model.

The present invention relates to a method for operating a driver model for controlling a vehicle. The driver model comprises a vehicle module (203) which determines an accelerator pedal position to be set on the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle module (203) determines a required power as a component of a total power, which total power can be generated by a drive system of the vehicle, wherein the required power corresponds to a power that is necessary for moving the vehicle at a required speed and/or a required acceleration (311) along a predefined road course. The method according to the invention further provides for a value (313) of a permissible pedal position to be assigned to the required power and for the value (313) of the permissible pedal position to be transmitted to the driver model in order to control the vehicle.
