A method and an apparatus for monitoring a motorcycle. Based on the acceleration-relevant data, a vehicle motion and a vehicle position in three-dimensional space are estimated. The vehicle position in space is analyzed and is evaluated as a normal or a critical riding state. A detection direction of a sensor unit is predefined in such a way that in an upright normal resting position of the motorcycle the detection direction lies in a horizontal plane, and the detected acceleration-relevant data encompass a first acceleration component in a longitudinal vehicle direction and a second acceleration component in a transverse vehicle direction. A riding state evaluated as critical is plausibilized with the estimated vehicle motion in order to recognize a critical resting position after an accident. An emergency call is generated when a critical resting position after an accident is recognized.

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.

A method for driving safety when vehicles are driving in convoy, in which a driver classification is performed during travel based on instantaneous sensor variables, and in which a recommendation for the vehicle order in the convoy is output.

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 and computer program are provided for operating a motorized two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a motorcycle that includes a sensor system for accident recognition that generates measuring signals. The sensor system is used for recognizing a rotation of a front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle that deviates from a normal steering movement and allows an inference concerning a collision of the two-wheeled vehicle with another object. Moreover, the invention relates to a computer program for carrying out the method.
