Method for crash recognition in a vehicle

摘要

A method of crash detection in a vehicle is described. The method comprises a step of receiving a linear signal (12) and a rotation signal (22, 23) via an interface, the signals comprising information on a linear movement and/or a rotational movement of the vehicle. In a step of determining (30, 40), a linear power value (31), based on the linear signal (12), and a rotational power value (31), based on the rotation signal (22, 23) are determined. In a step of ascertaining (80), a ratio value (81), based on a ratio of the linear power value (31) and the rotational power value (41) is ascertained. The ratio value is suitable for determining information on a crash type (92) and/or a crash location (93).
