Method for detecting accidents of vehicles comprises the following steps: . detecting an acceleration value (A) of a vehicle along at least one direction; and comparing it with a predefined acceleration threshold value (A th); if the acceleration value (A) is bigger than or equal to the acceleration threshold value further- initializing a temporal variable t=0; calculating at least a speed value V(t)=V(t-Deltat)+A* Deltat from the acceleration value determining at least a speed variation value (DeltaV) starting from the speed value (V(t)) and from at least a previous speed value (V(t-Deltat w)) and comparing the speed variation value (DeltaV) with at least a predefined speed threshold value (DeltaVth) and, if the speed variation value (DeltaV) is bigger than or equal to the speed threshold value (DeltaV th), signalling the detection of an accident on the vehicle; The method can be used to notify insurance companies of an accident. |
