Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE ANGLE OF INCLINATION OF A TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE LEVEL OF A SUSPENDED TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/107358
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and method for identifying an angle of inclination of a two-wheeled vehicle during its journey, using a sensor. According to said method, the acceleration is measured along the vertical axis of the vehicle by a vertical acceleration sensor. The angle of inclination is determined by means of the ratio of the measured acceleration to the acceleration due to gravity. A level control process is activated or deactivated in accordance with the angle of inclination of the two-wheeled vehicle.
