Abstract

The invention relates to a control device (1) for a vehicle having at least two drive units, comprising a first interface (3) which is designed to record a target torque (4), and comprising a computer device (5) which is designed to cyclically minimise an evaluation function (6) for the operation of the at least two drive units, in order to determine a torque distribution (11) between the at least two drive units, wherein a boundary condition (7) of the evaluation function (6) is the generation of the target torque (4), wherein the evaluation function (6) has a penalty term (8), which evidences a change in the torque of one of the at least two drive units with an evaluation penalty. The invention also relates to a corresponding drive train and a corresponding method.
