Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007036556A1] The invention relates to a system for determining an absolute tilt angle (a) in relation to the horizontal, especially for use in a motor vehicle (1). Said system comprises at least one sensor element having a main axis of sensitivity (H1, H2), the at least one sensor element being arranged in such a manner that its main axis of sensitivity (H1, H2) lies in the plane of the tilt angle to be detected (plane of tilt) and the at least one sensor element produces a sensor signal depending on the tilt angle (a) in relation to the horizontal (2). The sensor signal produced by the sensor element is a measured acceleration (A<SUB>1,m</SUB>, A<SUB>2,m</SUB>) of the system. The system further comprises a device (14) for detecting an acceleration component (a<SUB>y,dyn</SUB>) of the measured acceleration (A<SUB>1,m</SUB>, A<SUB>2,m</SUB>) and a processing unit (16) to which the measured acceleration (A<SUB>1,m,</SUB> A<SUB>2,m</SUB>) and the acceleration component (a<SUB>y,dyn</SUB>) are supplied in order to determine an acceleration component-corrected acceleration (A<SUB>1</SUB>, A<SUB>2</SUB>) from which the absolute tilt angle (a) of the system in relation to the horizontal can be determined.
