Abstract

In an automotive drive, at least one dynamic characteristic of a bearing by which the automotive drive is supported on a beam is selectively influenced during operation of the automotive drive (active bearing). It is provided that a change in an instantaneous operating variable of the automotive drive is determined from a change in a state variable of the active bearing that influences its dynamic characteristic.
