DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AN ACCIDENT SITUATION OF AN OPEN ROAD VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to a device and a method for identifying an accident situation of a road vehicle (1). The device has a sensor device for detecting at least two accident parameters comprising at least one driver monitoring sensor (2) for monitoring a descent of a driver (20) from a vehicle seat (3) as the first accident parameter and at least one additional sensor unit (4) for detecting a deviation of the road vehicle (1) from a predetermined operating state of the road vehicle (1) as a second accident parameter. The sensor device is connected to a control unit (5) and this control unit (5) is connected in turn to a data transmission device (6). The control unit (5) is designed to check for a presence of the at least two accident parameters and to generate an emergency signal in the event of the presence of the at least two accident parameters, and to contact an external data receiving station (7) by means of the data transmission device (6).
