Registration arrangement for motor vehicles with a measured value presentation suitable for evaluating accidents

A device for short-distance recording in a motor vehicle, which comprises:

• a processing means, wherein said processing means controls the operation of said device;
• a means for measuring speed;
• and
• a storage arrangement for electronically storing the measured speed values in such a way that they enable an immediate evaluation of one of an accident and a near-accident driving situation by one of displaying and printing,
• wherein said storage arrangement is provided with at least two independent storage branches, wherein each of said storage branches has a plurality of storage areas, and
• wherein each of said storage areas has a first storage portion which can be is operated as a ring storage and a second storage portion which is operated as a linear storage, and further wherein at least one of the measured speed values is written into said storage branches simultaneously in a cycle required for a desired resolution, and further wherein a ring storage is exited and a further storage is effected in the subsequently arranged linear storage in a first of said two storage branches when said vehicle is stopped and in a second of said two storage branches when fixed deceleration values, which are caused by one of braking and impact, are exceeded.
