Method and device for carrying out autonomous braking in a two-wheeled motor vehicle

A method for carrying out autonomous braking in a two-wheeled motor vehicle, the method comprising the following steps:

• detecting a necessity of vehicle deceleration using a surround sensor system;
• carrying out, based on detecting that the vehicle deceleration is necessary and prior to execution of the vehicle deceleration, a test by:
• initiating a preliminary braking action that is independent of the rider and that is of a predefined temporal length;
• modeling a reaction of the rider to the preliminary braking action in a period beginning from a time of the initiation of the preliminary braking action, the modeling being based on at least one of measurement of a roll motion of the motor vehicle, a yaw motion of the motor vehicle, a pitch motion of the motor vehicle, a steering angle of the motor vehicle;
• and
• ascertaining, based on the modeled reaction, a rider readiness variable characterizing readiness of the rider to master the vehicle deceleration detected as necessary;
• and
• initiating, after completion of the test, the vehicle deceleration, wherein a time characteristic of the vehicle deceleration is set as a function of the rider readiness variable.
