A method for ascertaining a ground profile in a region in front of a first vehicle in a direction of travel, using at least one sensor, the method comprising:

measuring at least one vertical motion of at least one second vehicle traveling ahead by the vehicle;
one of ascertaining and estimating an independent motion of the first vehicle;
comparing measured data of the at least one vertical motion of the at least one second vehicle traveling ahead to one of ascertained and estimated data of the independent motion of the first vehicle;
and
deriving a ground profile from the comparing of the measured data of the at least one second vehicle traveling ahead with the one of the ascertained and the estimated data of the independent motion of the first vehicle.
