Method and device for generating an emergency call for a vehicle

A method for generating an emergency call for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining a collision signal from an interface to at least one collision sensor of the vehicle and an environment-sensor signal from an interface to at least one environment sensor of the vehicle, the collision signal representing at least one collision characteristic of a collision of the vehicle with at least one collision object, and the environment-sensor signal representing an environment of the vehicle including the at least one collision object;
• ascertaining at least one object property of the at least one collision object using the environment-sensor signal;
• generating an emergency-call signal using the at least one collision characteristic and the at least one object property;
• and
• supplying the emergency-call signal for output to a transmitter device of the vehicle.

A device for generating an emergency call for a vehicle, comprising:

• a processor;
• an input interface;
• and
• an output interface;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain, via the input interface and from at least one collision sensor of the vehicle, a collision signal representing at least one collision characteristic of a collision of the vehicle with at least one collision object;
• obtain, via the input interface and from at least one environment sensor of the vehicle, an environment-sensor signal representing an environment of the vehicle including the at least one collision object;
• ascertain at least one object property of the at least one collision object using the environment-sensor signal;
• generate an emergency-call signal using the at least one collision characteristic and the at least one object property;
• and
• supplying the emergency-call signal for output via the output interface to a transmitter device of the vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions that are executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method for generating an emergency call for a vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining a collision signal from an interface to at least one collision sensor of the vehicle and an environment-sensor signal from an interface to at least one environment sensor of the vehicle, the collision signal representing at least one collision characteristic of a collision of the vehicle with at least one collision object, and the environment-sensor signal representing an environment of the vehicle including the at least one collision object;
• ascertaining at least one object property of the at least one collision object using the environment-sensor signal;
• generating an emergency-call signal using the at least one collision characteristic and the at least one object property;
• and
• supplying the emergency-call signal for output to a transmitter device of the vehicle.
