A device for determining a driving state of a two-axle motor vehicle, which driving state is formed from the driving situation of the motor vehicle and the state of the underlying surface, wherein output signals from vehicle on-board sensors are evaluated in order to determine the driving situation and wherein a routine for determining and/or estimating the friction value of the underlying surface is provided in order to determine the state of the underlying surface. Also disclosed is a method for operating a combined vehicle brake system, in particular for motor vehicles, having hydraulically actuable wheel brakes at a front axle and having electromechanically actuable wheel brakes at a rear axle, wherein the vehicle wheels assigned to the rear axle can be driven at least at times by an electric motor which can be operated as a generator for the recuperation of braking energy.

Device for determining a driving state and method for the driving-state-dependent operation of a combined vehicle brake system

A device for controlling the driving dynamics of a vehicle senses at least one driving condition variable being representative of a driving condition and has a driving dynamics controller for determining an additional steering angle, according to which a steering motion can be carried out in addition to the steering motion commanded by an operator. The driving dynamics controller () has at least two control units (), which are respectively associated with one driving condition range. It includes a determinator for determining a prevailing driving condition, in which the prevailing driving condition can be established based on the driving condition variable ({dot over (&#x3a8;)}, {dot over (&#x3b2;)}, a), and in that it includes an activation logic () being in connection with the determination means and being adapted to enable a control unit (), which is associated with the established driving condition range.
