Abstract
A method for determining an incline of a road on which a vehicle is located includes importing image data of an environment of the vehicle, the image data being generated by an image sensor. The method further includes identifying a defined reference object in the environment of the vehicle from the image data and identifying a relationship between the identified reference object and a defined reference system of the image sensor. The method also includes estimating the incline of the road on the basis of the identified relationship and providing a signal representing the incline of the road.
