METHOD AND CONTROLLER FOR OPERATING A MOTORCYCLE IN A FORMATION OF MOTORCYCLES

The present invention relates to a method for operating a motorcycle (100) in a formation (104) of motorcycles, wherein vehicles (102) in a rear space behind the motorcycle (100) are detected, for each detected vehicle (102) a relative position (112) of the vehicle (102) to the motorcycle (100) and a formation membership (114) of the detected vehicle (102) to the formation (104) is determined, wherein a hazard potential (116) of the vehicle (102) for the motorcycle (100) is determined using the relative position (112) and the formation membership (114), wherein the hazard potential (116) of vehicles (102) belonging to the formation is determined to be lower than that of non-belonging vehicles (102) at the same relative position (112).
