A method for operating a driver assistance system for a two-wheeled vehicle, which is characterized in that in an intervention step, the driver assistance system intervenes as a function of a driver-specific driving-dynamics profile and an instantaneous driving state, the driving-dynamics profile reflecting a relationship between inclined-position values at which a driver of the two-wheeled vehicle drove in the past and acceleration values at which he drove at the same time, and the driving state being characterized by an instantaneously acquired acceleration value and an instantaneously acquired inclined-position value.

A method for ascertaining the instantaneous roadway roughness in a vehicle. In the method, the frequency-dependent amplitude response is determined from the wheel speed, and a roughness characteristic variable is ascertained as a measure of the roadway roughness.

In a method for data classification and data transmission in vehicles, event data which characterize an event that occurs in a first vehicle are stored in a data packet. Event data of the data packet are transmitted from the first to a second vehicle and displayed there if at least a portion of the event data and/or driving-specific data from the first vehicle corresponds to a driving or event category that is determined in the second vehicle.

A method is described for operating a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, on a roadway, the method including the following steps: ascertaining an instantaneous coefficient of friction between at least one wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle and the roadway; calculating a critical tilt angle of the two-wheeled vehicle as a function of at least the instantaneous coefficient of friction; detecting an instantaneous tilt angle of the two-wheeled vehicle; determining the distance between the instantaneous tilt angle and the critical tilt angle; and outputting an item of information to the driver as a function of the determined distance.

An environmental sensor system in a two-wheeled vehicle is capable of being coupled to the two-wheeled vehicle via a carrier unit, the carrier unit being realized so as to be pivotable about an axis of the two-wheeled vehicle and, when there is a deflection of the two-wheeled vehicle, being pivoted about the two-wheeled vehicle axis in a direction opposite to the deflection.

A method for damping torsional vibrations in a power generation plant that includes a drive train, a rotor fitted at a rotor-side end of the drive train, and a generator driven via the drive train and fitted at a generator-side end of the drive train includes determining an angular difference between a first point and a second point on the drive train over time. The method further includes damping torsional vibrations in the drive train on the basis of the time profile of the determined angular difference by correspondingly presetting a load torque of the generator and a drive torque of the rotor.

A method for determining a transverse gradient of a road surface, on which a two-wheeler travels, the two-wheeler having at least one wheel, whose rolling circumference changes as a function of an inclination of the two-wheeler relative to the road surface, an inclination of the two-wheeler relative to the road surface being determined from a variable, which depends on the rolling circumference of the at least one wheel, and the transverse gradient of the road surface being determined from the tilt of the two-wheeler and the inclination relative to the road surface.
