Method for determining damage which occurs to a vehicle in the event of an accident between a vehicle and a collision partner

A vehicle, comprising:

• a controller operatively configured to execute processing to:
• analyze information about an acceleration profile of the vehicle which is made available by an acceleration sensor, wherein whether the acceleration profile has at least one sudden change and a count of a number of sudden changes is determined;
• generate a first output signal which comprises first information about damage which has occurred to the vehicle during the accident, on the basis of a first count of the number of sudden changes which are detected during the analyzing of the acceleration profile;
• and
• generate a second output signal which comprises second information about damage which has occurred to the vehicle during the accident, on the basis of a second count of the number of sudden changes which are detected during the analyzing of the acceleration profile, wherein the second output signal is different from the first output signal, and wherein the second count of the number of sudden changes is different from the first count of the number of sudden changes,
• wherein the information about the damage which has occurred to the vehicle comprises at least one of an identification of a damaged component of the vehicle, an identification of a component of the vehicle to be checked, or an identification of a component of the vehicle that may have been affected by the accident.
