Abstract: A method is provided for assisting a driver of a single-track motor vehicle during a drive in order to drive through a bend safely. In the method, at least one current driving state variable and driver-specific driving dynamics variables are compared with an approaching driving situation and, if a danger threshold value is reached or exceeded, a warning signal is output. The current speed of the motor vehicle is sensed by a speed sensor and transmitted to a computer-and memory unit as the current driving state variable. Both previously reached inclined positions of the single-track motor vehicle and previously reached brake pressures and/or brake pressure gradients are stored by the computer-and-memory unit as the driver-specific driving dynamics variables. In order to evaluate the approaching driving situation, a bend radius of a curve to be driven through next is determined via a navigation unit and is transmitted to the computer-and memory unit.

Abstract: A control device and a process for activating an airbag, in particular in one track vehicles, is provided. The control device receives and evaluates input signals and is designed so as to generate, in the presence of defined conditions, a signal, which results in the activation of an airbag. To avoid misactivation of the airbag, a sensor for detecting the revolution or a deceleration of the front wheel is provided and a suitable signal is generated. In the case of an antilocking system, an activating signal is generated. A device for detecting an application of the front wheel brake is provided and a suitable signal is generated. The signals are fed to the control device. The control device is designed so as to permit, in addition to at least one other condition, the activation of an airbag only if in the case the front wheel brake is not applied or in the case the front wheel brake is applied but the antilocking system is activated, the front wheel is decelerated in essence to zero.
