Abstract: A method for detecting a standstill of a vehicle includes detecting the standstill of the vehicle using at least one sensor, and, when the standstill is detected using the at least one sensor, carrying out a test routine for checking the standstill of the vehicle. The test routine uses at least one signal from at least one rate-of-rotation sensor as an input value. The method further includes rejecting the detected standstill of the vehicle when the at least one signal from the at least one rate-of-rotation sensor indicates that there is no standstill of the vehicle.
