Abstract
A method for determining the lean angle of a two-wheeler in which the axle load on at least one wheel is ascertained and the lean angle is calculated as a function of the axle load.
Claims13
A method, comprising:
- ascertaining an axle load on at least one wheel of a two-wheeler;
- calculating a lean angle as a function of the axle load;
- and
- modulating a brake pressure on at least one of a front wheel brake and a rear wheel brake of the two-wheeler as a function of the calculated lean angle.
1 more element
A regulating or control unit, the regulating or control unit designed to:
- ascertain an axle load on at least one wheel of a two-wheeler;
- and
- calculate a lean angle as a function of the axle load;
- and
- modulate a brake pressure on at least one of a front wheel brake and a rear wheel brake of the two-wheeler as a function of the calculated lean angle.
2 more elements
A two-wheeler, comprising:
- a regulating or control unit designed to determine a lean angle of a two-wheeler, the regulating or control unit designed to ascertain an axle load on at least one wheel of the two-wheeler, calculate the lean angle as a function of the axle load, and modulate a brake pressure on at least one of a front wheel brake and a rear wheel brake of the two-wheeler as a function of the calculated lean angle;
- and
- a sensor system for ascertaining the axle load on the at least one wheel.
