Method and apparatus for evaluating an acceleration

The method (10) for evaluating an acceleration of a land vehicle by means of a rigidly connected to the land vehicle measuring device, characterized by the following features: with respect to at least one roll axis and a pitch axis of the land vehicle is in each case a mounting position angle of the measuring device determines (11), along several related to the meter device coordinate axes, an acceleration component of the measuring device is measured in each case (12), from the measured acceleration components, a direction vector of the acceleration is determined based on the installation position angle is calculated in a plane defined by the roll axis and the pitch axis plane (13) and the acceleration is evaluated on the basis of the direction vector (14).
