Abstract
A method for an early accident detection in transportation vehicles that includes recording the local acceleration at different distributed locations in a transportation vehicle using acceleration sensors installed at different locations; ascertaining local effect information for the different locations based on the measured accelerations; jointly evaluating the effect information for the different locations and deriving accident information, and outputting the accident information. The method includes an apparatus having acceleration sensors installed at different distributed installation locations in a transportation vehicle for recording the local acceleration at the respective installation location, one or more processing circuits for ascertaining in each case local effect information for the different installation locations based on the respectively measured local acceleration, and an evaluation device for jointly evaluating the effect information for the different installation locations and deriving accident information and outputting the accident information.
