1. An arrangement for determining a gradient signal in a vehicle, the arrangement comprising:

  • at least one position capture device which is configured to determine a position of the vehicle in an absolute system at least at a first point in time and at a second point in time and to ascertain therefrom a distance traveled of the vehicle as a motion vector, andat least one first laser distance sensor arranged on a front side of the vehicle at a predetermined angle to a vehicle longitudinal axis and configured to emit at least one first laser beam in a direction of a first measuring point in front of the vehicle at least at the first point in time and the second point in time, andat least one laser beam length sensor that is configured to ascertain the length of the at least one laser beam and at least one associated vector of the laser beam at each of the at least first point in time and second point in time, and at least one detection device that is set up to ascertain a differential vector from the motion vector and each of the ascertained vectors of the laser beam and to form a gradient signal therefrom.
