Abstract
A method for judging the drivability of vehicles including acquiring drivability-relevant physical data during the driving operation of the vehicle; checking the data for the presence of trigger conditions which indicate the existence of specific driving states; if a specific driving state exists, calculating at least one local evaluation, which is a judgment of an evaluation criterion relevant for the driving state; and calculating an overall evaluation for the acquired driving state. An increase in precision may be achieved with repeated occurrence of identical driving states, a correction variable is calculated for the evaluations, which is a function of the differences in the behavior of the vehicle upon identical driving states, and a corrected evaluation is calculated in which this correction variable is taken into consideration.
