Since the IMU reads 0 degrees as a line perpendicular to the ground it disregards road camber which in NZ is typically 3 to 5% on seal roads.

I think an IMU is based on a gyro, or possibly an electronic version of one. So it gives lean angle based on deflection from the upright position, regardless of camber.

I think it doesn't factor camber in, because that is always changing.

Happy to learn to the contrary, it's really interesting.

You really do need the complete some physics courses.
