METHOD AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A TYPE OF A COLLISION OF A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining a type of a collision of a vehicle, which comprises a step of receiving acceleration information (212, 213, 214, 215) by means of a receive interface representing the acceleration of the vehicle in a longitudinal vehicle direction and a transverse vehicle direction. First resulting acceleration information (312) is determined from first and second pieces of acceleration information (212, 213), and second resulting acceleration information (314) is determined from third and fourth pieces of acceleration information (214, 215). The first resulting acceleration information (312) and the second resulting acceleration information (314) are combined to obtain at least one piece of evaluation information. The type of the collision (631, 633) is determined based on the at least one piece of evaluation information.
