Device for emergency signalling in case of a vehicle collision and method for operating same

摘要

The device (1) has a housing (6), and a detection device arranged in the housing and detecting electronic measuring information relating to emergency-conditional vehicle condition from sensor devices. A data communication device is arranged in the housing, and outputs data signals relating to emergency message over a data interface, where the message comprises the information. A plug device is arranged at the housing, and has a plug connector (8) for insertion into a motor vehicle-plug socket, where the connector has an electrical plug contact (9). The sensor devices are designed as acceleration sensors, velocity sensors or position sensors. An independent claim is also included for a method for emergency signaling during collision of a motor vehicle.
