Abstract
A method for determining a slope of a roadway on which a vehicle is located includes imputing image data, supplied by an image sensor, pertaining to surroundings of the vehicle, identifying a defined reference object in the surroundings of the vehicle using the image data, determining an angle relationship between the reference object and the surroundings, estimating a slope of the roadway with reference to the determined angle relationship, and generating a signal indicative of the slope of the roadway. A device for determining a slope of a roadway on which a vehicle is located is configured to execute such a method.
