Abstract
A device is part if a device for regulating a motion variable representing the vehicle motion. This device is used to determine whether a vehicle is located on a road surface inclined across the direction of travel of the vehicle. The device has a first apparatus for detecting various variables describing the vehicle motion. Furthermore, this device contains a second apparatus with which identically defined comparison Variables are determined at least on the basis of the various variables describing the vehicle motion detected with the first apparatus. In the third apparatus of this device, plausibility queries are performed at least on the basis of the identically defined comparison variables to determine whether the vehicle is located on a road surface inclined across the direction of travel of the vehicle. The result of the determination performed with the third apparatus is taken into account in regulating the motion variable representing the vehicle motion.
