A method for controlling operation of a vehicle with a recuperation unit may include determining at least one first parameter denoting possible imminent actuation of the recuperation unit, evaluating whether actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, and if yes, calculating a probable profile for a speed of the vehicle during the actuation on the basis of a prescribable level of a recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit. The method may also include generating at least one second parameter denoting the ascertained probable profile of the speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit and displaying the at least one second parameter with an output apparatus.

1. A method for operating a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a recuperation unit to recuperate kinetic energy from the vehicle and an output apparatus to output driving information and wherein the method comprises the following steps: determining at least one first parameter denoting possible imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,evaluating whether actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, on the basis of the at least one ascertained first parameter,if it is ascertained that actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, calculating a probable profile for a speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit on the basis of a prescribable level of a recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,generating at least one second parameter denoting the ascertained probable profile of the speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,determining a probable braking path for the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit on the basis of the prescribable level of the recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit;generating at least one third parameter, denoting the ascertained probable braking path of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit; anddisplaying the at least one second parameter and the at least one third parameter with the output apparatus. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein determining the probable braking path of the vehicle involves ascertainment of a distance within which the speed of the vehicle falls below a predetermined threshold value during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising determining at least one operating parameter for an energy storage apparatus for storing energy recuperated by means of the recuperation unit, and wherein generating the at least one second parameter is additionally effected on the basis of the at least one ascertained operating parameter. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising determining at least one fourth parameter, selected from the group consisting of an instantaneous mass of the vehicle, an instantaneous tire pressure of at least one tire of the vehicle and an instantaneous attitude of a chassis of the vehicle, and wherein generating the at least one second parameter is additionally effected on the basis of the at least one ascertained fourth parameter. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising determining a route profile and/or an instantaneous road condition of a road on which the vehicle is traveling, and wherein the at least one second parameter is additionally effected on the basis of the ascertained route profile and/or the ascertained instantaneous road condition. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one second parameter depends at least in part on a plurality of probable profiles for the speed of the vehicle determined on the basis of a plurality of different recuperation intensities of the recuperation unit during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one second parameter is transmitted to at least one driver assistance system of the vehicle and/or to at least one further vehicle. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one first parameter depends at least in part on traffic regulations that apply in a region of instantaneous surroundings of the vehicle. 9. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the traffic regulations include at least one traffic regulation, selected from the group consisting of a speed limit, a traffic priority rule, and a switching phase of a light signal installation. 10. The method as claimed in claim 8, the traffic regulations are based at least in part on data ascertained by at least one sensor of the vehicle and/or data received by at least one communication unit of the vehicle and/or on map data stored in the memory apparatus. 11. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one first parameter depends at least in part on a degree of depression of a gas pedal of the vehicle. 12. A computer program product including a non-transitory computer-readable medium and program code stored on the computer-readable medium, when executed on a computation unit, instructs the computation unit to: determine at least one first parameter denoting possible imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,evaluate whether actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, on the basis of the at least one ascertained first parameter,if it is ascertained that actuation of the recuperation unit is imminent, calculate a probable profile for a speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit on the basis of a prescribable level of a recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,generate at least one second parameter denoting the ascertained probable profile of the speed of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit,determine a probable braking path for the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit on the basis of the prescribable level of the recuperation intensity of the recuperation unit during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit;generate at least one third parameter, denoting the ascertained probable braking path of the vehicle during the ascertained imminent actuation of the recuperation unit; anddisplaying the at least one second parameter and the at least one third parameter with the output apparatus. 13.
