Method for providing a quantity representing the longitudinal inclination of a vehicle

The present invention relates to a method for providing a quantity representing the longitudinal inclination of a vehicle, and/or a signal representing the longitudinal inclination of a vehicle, for a control unit for the slip control of the vehicle or a control unit for the control of a quantity describing the yaw rate of the vehicle. The present invention also relates to a control unit for the slip control or for the control of a quantity describing the yaw rate of a vehicle, as well as a control unit for controlling the headlight level of a vehicle, having means for generating and processing a quantity and/or a corresponding signal representing the longitudinal inclination of the vehicle. To be understood by the headlight-leveling control is the control of the headlights, in particular the low-beam headlights, provided on a vehicle. A method for providing a signal, representing the longitudinal inclination of a vehicle, for a control unit for the slip control and/or for the control of a quantity describing the yaw rate of the vehicle, measured quantities which can be acquired and processed for ascertaining a signal representing a longitudinal inclination of the vehicle, and/or the ascertained signal representing the longitudinal inclination being transmitted from a control device for the headlight-leveling control to the control unit for the slip control and/or for the control of the quantity describing the yaw rate.
