Method for determining a speed value of a vehicle, in particular a two-wheeled vehicle, wherein the method • uses a first sensor to capture at least a first and a second sensor variable on the basis of the movement of a wheel of the vehicle, • determines the speed value from the time interval between the first and second sensor variables, wherein, in order to determine the time interval, the first and second sensor variables are compared with a first threshold value (SW 1), characterized in that the method • uses a second sensor (130, 140) to capture a progressive movement variable representing the movement of the vehicle in the direction of travel, and • determines a time period on the basis of the progressive movement variable, wherein the time period within which the first threshold value is expected to be exceeded by the second sensor variable after the first threshold value has been exceeded by the first sensor variable, and • defines a second threshold value (SW 2) that is lower than the first threshold value (SW 1) if no second sensor variable that exceeds the first threshold value (SW 1) is captured after the first sensor variable has been captured and the time period has expired, and • in order to determine the time interval and to determine the speed value, compares at least one of the first and second sensor variables with the second threshold value (SW 2). • uses a first sensor to capture at least a first and a second sensor variable on the basis of the movement of a wheel of the vehicle, • determines the speed value from the time interval between the first and second sensor variables, wherein, in order to determine the time interval, the first and second sensor variables are compared with a first threshold value (SW 1), characterized in that the method • uses a second sensor (130, 140) to capture a progressive movement variable representing the movement of the vehicle in the direction of travel, and • determines a time period on the basis of the progressive movement variable, wherein the time period within which the first threshold value is expected to be exceeded by the second sensor variable after the first threshold value has been exceeded by the first sensor variable, and • defines a second threshold value (SW 2) that is lower than the first threshold value (SW 1) if no second sensor variable that exceeds the first threshold value (SW 1) is captured after the first sensor variable has been captured and the time period has expired, and • in order to determine the time interval and to determine the speed value, compares at least one of the first and second sensor variables with the second threshold value (SW 2). • uses a second sensor (130, 140) to capture a progressive movement variable representing the movement of the vehicle in the direction of travel, and • determines a time period on the basis of the progressive movement variable, wherein the time period within which the first threshold value is expected to be exceeded by the second sensor variable after the first threshold value has been exceeded by the first sensor variable, and • defines a second threshold value (SW 2) that is lower than the first threshold value (SW 1) if no second sensor variable that exceeds the first threshold value (SW 1) is captured after the first sensor variable has been captured and the time period has expired, and • in order to determine the time interval and to determine the speed value, compares at least one of the first and second sensor variables with the second threshold value (SW 2).
