1. An apparatus for determining at least one wheel slip (s) of a vehicle (10) and at least one of a pitch angle (Φ

  • ), a road angle and a roll angle (χ

    ) of the vehicle for use in at least one vehicle control system (1), characterized in that the apparatus includes;

    at least three deflection displacement sensing devices that are adapted for sensing a first parameter that corresponds to a first deflection displacement, a second parameter that corresponds to a second deflection displacement, and at least a third parameter that corresponds to a third deflection displacement; and

    a processor (PB) for determining the at least one wheel slip (s) of the vehicle and the at least one of the pitch angle, the road angle and the roll angle based on the first deflection displacement, the second deflection displacement, and the third deflection displacement.
