Abstract: An emission-limiting vehicle state control system includes a state detector, a database unit and a control and evaluation unit. The state detector is configured to provide state data. The database unit has a static database module, a dynamic database module and a data management module. The static database module includes static data for cause-effect relationships for emissions not associated with the drivetrain. The dynamic database module has variable data for emissions not associated with the drivetrain. The control and evaluation unit is configured to receive the state data and the data basis data to determine an emissions budget and target emissions values with a calculation module. An assessment module chooses a final control command from the alternative preliminary control commands and outputs the final command to an actuator unit to influence a vehicle state.
