Abstract
A method for monitoring the conditions of driving systems can be used in particular to control driving systems in hybrid vehicles with particular consideration given to the exhaust emission. The method monitors the conditions of driving systems that comprise an internal combustion engine and an electric motor with an energy source. A first power value for operating the internal combustion engine and a second power value for describing the power that can be provided by the energy source are ascertained, and the first and second power values are compared with each other to monitor the conditions of the driving system. The driving system is controlled dependent on the result of the comparison.
