A method for carrying out an autonomous brake application in a two-wheel motor vehicle. In the method, the need for a vehicle deceleration is detected with the aid of a surroundings sensor system; depending thereon, a driver-independent vehicle deceleration is initiated; once the vehicle deceleration has been initiated, a driver readiness variable characterizing the readiness of the driver to control the vehicle deceleration maneuver is ascertained; and the temporal progression of the vehicle deceleration is continued depending on the driver readiness variable.

A method for carrying out autonomous braking in a two-wheeled motor vehicle, where the necessity of vehicle deceleration is detected with the aid of a surround sensor system. When vehicle deceleration is necessary, prior to its execution, a test braking action independent of a rider and of a predefined temporal length is carried out. During or after the execution of the test braking action, a rider readiness variable characterizing the readiness of the rider to master the vehicle deceleration detected as necessary is ascertained. After completion of the test braking action, the vehicle deceleration is initiated, the time characteristic of the vehicle deceleration being a function of the rider readiness variable.

A method is described for influencing the engine control of a single-track motor vehicle, in which the current driving situation is ascertained, a predefined driving situation is selected from a specified class of predefined driving situations as a function of the current driving situation, and the engine control is influenced as a function of the selected predefined driving situation in a manner that is independent of the driver.

In a method for the automatic adjustment of the speed of a motorcycle during a turning maneuver, the current position of incline of the motorcycle is determined and is compared with a target position of incline, the speed being reduced or increased as a function of the difference.

A method for lateral dynamic stabilization of a single-track motor vehicle during cornering; on the left side of the vehicle, the motor vehicle including at least one first nozzle, which is mounted at a first position located between the wheels, and through which a medium situated in a first container may escape into the surroundings of the motor vehicle, with a speed component pointed in the outer direction of the left side of the vehicle; and on the right side of the vehicle, the motor vehicle including at least one second nozzle, which is mounted at a second position located between the wheels, and through which a medium situated in a second container may escape into the surroundings of the motor vehicle, with a speed component pointed in the outer direction of the right side of the vehicle; &#x2014;where a presence of an unstable driving condition in a lateral direction of the vehicle is detected, and&#x2014;as a function of this, with the aid of an actuator system, on only one side of the vehicle, the medium is caused to escape through the at least one nozzle mounted on this side of the vehicle, in order to stabilize the motor vehicle.

In a method for warning a driver of a single-track motor vehicle of leaving the traffic lane, at least one traffic lane boundary is ascertained by a video sensor system, the lateral distance of a reference point on the motor vehicle from the traffic lane boundary is ascertained, lean angle information of the motor vehicle describing the lean angle of the motor vehicle is ascertained, and it is ascertained, with the aid of at least the lateral distance and the lean angle information, whether part of the vehicle or of the rider projects beyond the traffic lane boundary.

A safety system for a motor bike includes an evaluation and control unit which receives crash-relevant information from at least one sensor unit and evaluates it for the purpose of detecting a crash, and in response to a detected crash, the evaluation and control unit activates at least one external safety component and/or at least one internal safety component using a triggering concept. The evaluation and control unit receives presence signals from the at least one external safety component and/or the at least one internal safety component and evaluates the received signals in order to detect the safety components currently available. The evaluation and control unit selects the triggering concept as a function of the detected safety components currently available.

A method for lateral dynamic stabilization of a single-track motor vehicle while negotiating a curve,&#x2014;in which the presence of an unstable driving state in the vehicle lateral direction is detected and&#x2014;as a function thereof, for the stabilization of the motor vehicle, at least one nozzle is activated, through which a medium is emitted perpendicularly to the wheel plane of a vehicle wheel.

A method for reducing the steering torque of a two-wheeler when negotiating curves. For the case that the front wheel is braked while negotiating a curve, the damping in an adaptive steering stamper is increased as a function of at least one state variable characterizing the negotiation of a curve.

A method for controlling the handling characteristics of a vehicle, including the steps of ascertaining setpoint values that are associated with specific controlled variables, and measuring forces at wheels of the vehicle, the controlled variables being forces or torques, actual values associated with the setpoint values being calculated from the forces measured at the wheels of the vehicle, and the ascertained setpoint values and the calculated actual values being used as input values of a control system. Also described is a system for controlling the handling characteristics of a vehicle.
