    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for regulating the speed of an engine which drives a disengageable device. The regulation of the engine speed is effected in accordance with a first mode when the disengageable device is disengaged and in accordance with a second mode when the disengageable device is engaged. The determination is effected by: —estimating the resistive torque exerted on the engine by the disengageable device; -changing a binary value from a first value representative of the disengaged state to a second value representative of the engaged state when the estimated resistive torque is higher than a first predetermined threshold for a first predetermined period of time; and —changing the binary value from the second value to its first value when, for a second predetermined period of time, the estimated resistive torque is lower than a second threshold possibly equal to the first threshold.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an air-cooled internal combustion engine (ICE) of a motor vehicle controlled by an electronic control unit, includes: activating the electronic control unit; zeroing stored values of temperature of the ICE and the filtered filtering coefficient; in one iteration, —determining whether the ICE is operating, determining a filtering coefficient and a temperature setpoint, —determining a filtered filtering coefficient based on the filtering coefficient and the stored filtered filtering coefficient value, —determining temperature of the ICE according to the coefficient, temperature setpoint and stored temperature of the ICE, —determining whether the ICE is moving and whether the difference between engine temperature and admitted air temperature is below a threshold, ⋅ if not, storing the filtered filtering coefficient and the temperature of the ICE, then beginning a new iteration, and ⋅ if so, transmitting a signal authorizing the shutdown of the electronic control unit.
