METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY PRODUCING MAP CHARACTERISTIC CURVE STRUCTURES FOR REGULATING AND/OR CONTROLLING A SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

A method for the automatic production of map characteristic curve structures for regulating and/or controlling a system. A modeling approach being used for the acquisition of causal dependencies from which, based on measurement data, a map characteristic curve structure is derived. In order to achieve an optimal map characteristic curve structure, the modeling approach has a theoretical data model from which a theoretical model deviation is determined, at least one input quantity of the data model being supplied to a map structure producer for determining a map characteristic curve structure, and the determined map characteristic curve structure being parameterized using measurement data and the result of the parameterization being compared to the theoretical model deviation, and, if a result of the comparison exceeds a specified value, the result of the comparison being resupplied to the map structure producer for the adaptation of the map characteristic curve structure.
