Systems and methods are described herein for managing communications for a connected vehicle, such as between the connected vehicle and other connected vehicle and/or between the connected vehicle and infrastructure entities, such as providers of services to the connected vehicle. For example, a communication network, such as a network provided by a network carrier, may include various cloud engines or other network-based servers that manage, coordinate, and/or provision communications between the connected vehicle and other parties, such as vehicles, road devices, buildings, and other infrastructure entities.

A drive device for an all-wheel drive, two-track motor vehicle, in the drive train of which a first motor vehicle axle and, via a center clutch, a second motor vehicle axle are driven permanently by a drive assembly in driving operation. In the closed state of the center clutch, the second vehicle axle is engaged with the drive train, and, in the open state of the clutch, the second vehicle axle is decoupled from the drive train. In a driving situation with engaged all-wheel drive as well as with axle friction coefficients of varying size, a greater wheel torque can be taken up at the vehicle axle with a large axle friction coefficient than at the vehicle axle with a small axle friction coefficient, and a control instrument is provided, which, for engine torque limitation, limits the drive assembly to a maximum allowed engine torque.

A method comprises checking whether a motor vehicle is driving based on the incremental sensor units, checking whether the motor vehicle is driving in a straight line based on a driving direction sensor unit, checking whether each wheel is slide-free and slip-free based on the incremental sensor units, determining the distance driven by each wheel based on the sensor value of the respective incremental sensor unit and the radius to be iteratively determined of the wheel of a previous iteration, determining the distance driven by the motor vehicle based on the distance driven by each wheel, determining the radius to be iteratively determined of the wheel based on the distance traveled by the motor vehicle and the sensor value of the respective incremental sensor unit, verifying that a validation condition is met and then repeating the aforementioned steps.
