Abstract

A device and method for determining a roll angle of a motorcycle are disclosed. The method includes the step of acquiring a rolling rate ({dot over (λ)}^M) of the motorcycle. A first roll angle variable (λ₁) is determined from the rolling rate ({dot over (λ)}^M). At least one vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variable is determined from a velocity (v), a rotational speed ({dot over (ψ)}^M), and/or an acceleration ({umlaut over (z)}^M, ÿ^M) of the motorcycle. A second roll angle variable (λ₂) is determined from one or more vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variables. The roll angle (λ_E) is calculated on the basis of the roll angle variables (λ₁, λ₂).
