Abstract
A method for checking the plausibility of accident situations involving a two-wheeled vehicle, a device for carrying out this method, and a two-wheeled vehicle comprising a device of this kind. In the method, it is checked, i.e., reviewed, whether it is plausible to output the accident information, in order to avoid unnecessary or even incorrect calls for help.
Claims19
A method for checking plausibility of an accident situation involving a two-wheeled vehicle, comprising the following steps:
- detecting at least one first sensor variable which represents a movement of at least one component fastened to the two-wheeled vehicle;
- generating or output, based on the at least one first sensor variable, an item of accident information that represents an accident situation;
- checking the plausibility of the accident situation by detecting at least one second sensor variable which represents a movement, and/or an operation, and/or a status of the two-wheeled vehicle;
- and
- preventing an item of accident information from being output based on the at least one second sensor variable,
- wherein an angular rate sensor variable is detected as the first and/or second sensor variable, the accident information being output by a smartphone and based on a rotational movement of the smartphone.
3 more elements
A device for generating an item of accident information, comprising:
- an analysis unit configured to:
- detect at least one first sensor variable which represents s movement of at least one component fastened to the two-wheeled vehicle;
- generate or output, based on the at least one first sensor variable, an item of accident information that represents an accident situation;
- check plausibility of the accident situation by detecting at least one second sensor variable which represents a movement, operation, and/or status of the two-wheeled vehicle;
- and
- prevent an item of accident information from being output based on the at least one second sensor variable,
- wherein an angular rate sensor variable is detected as the first and/or second sensor variable, the accident information being output by a smartphone and based on a rotational movement of the smartphone.
