Abstract
A method for determining an angle between a longitudinal axis of a first, leading component vehicle and a longitudinal axis of a second, trailing component vehicle. For at least one wheel axle or wheel axle group of the first, leading component vehicle a travel speed and/or an angular speed of the wheel axle or wheel axle group concerned is determined, and for at least one wheel axle or wheel axle group of the second, trailing component vehicle a travel speed and/or an angular speed of the wheel axle or wheel axle group concerned is determined. From the travel speeds and/or angular speeds determined for the wheel axles or wheel axle groups of the first, leading component vehicle and of the second, trailing component vehicle, the angle between the longitudinal axes of the first, leading component vehicle and the second, trailing component vehicle is then calculated.
