Abstract
A method for detecting bad stretches of road includes ascertaining a tripping variable representing acceleration of at least one wheel of a vehicle. A bad stretch of road is detected if the amount of the tripping variable exceeds a predeterminable limit value. The tripping variable is dependent on at least two segment times that the wheel needs to pass through associated angle segments.
