Abstract
A method for generating a signal representing an impact intensity including the steps: receiving at least three signals, which represent respectively accelerations in different spatial directions; calculating a direction-independent variable from the three signals; ascertaining an integrated measurand of the direction-independent variable over a time window; generating a signal representing an impact intensity on the basis of the ascertained integrated measurand.

A method for a vehicle for generating a signal representing an impact intensity, comprising:
- receiving at least three signals, which represent respectively accelerations in different spatial directions;
- calculating a direction-independent variable from the three signals;
- ascertaining an integrated measurand of the direction-independent variable over a time window;
- and
- generating a signal representing an impact intensity from the ascertained integrated measurand.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for generating a signal representing an impact intensity, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform:
- receiving at least three signals, which represent respectively accelerations in different spatial directions;
- calculating a direction-independent variable from the three signals;
- ascertaining an integrated measurand of the direction-independent variable over a time window;
