A system for monitoring at least one system parameter which influences an operating property of vehicles, the system comprising an adaptable theoretical model configured to generate theoretical vehicle behavior from operating data of the vehicle, the system comprising:
- means for determining real vehicle behavior based on operating data of the vehicle;
- means for comparing the real vehicle behavior with the theoretical vehicle behavior;
- means for monitoring the at least one system parameter to determine if the theoretical vehicle behavior corresponds to the real vehicle behavior;
- means for generating and outputting at least one of a fault message and instructions for the vehicle driver and initiating at least one countermeasure if the at least one system parameter value lies outside a predefined parameter value range;
- and
- means for adapting the original theoretical model to provide an adapted theoretical model, wherein the adaptation continues until an adapted theoretical vehicle behavior corresponds to the real vehicle or vehicle,
- wherein if a deviation between the at least one system parameter acquired with the original theoretical model and the at least one system parameter acquired with the adapted theoretical model lies within a predefined deviation value range, the means for monitoring continues to monitor the at least one system parameter acquired with the adapted theoretical model without issuance of the fault message or instructions until the deviation value no longer lies within the predefined deviation value range.
