Abstract
A method for determining an approach of a person toward a transportation vehicle, a computer program, an apparatus, and a system. In response to UWB technology or other radio-based distance systems being used for the Kessy access, the distance information relating to a user is gathered. In response to the access device containing an acceleration sensor, the movement sequence relating to the distance information is analyzed. The magnetic orientation of a transportation vehicle is known when the transportation vehicle is parked, and this information is included in the analysis. In the course of the calculation, directional vectors are included in the approach detection, and the individual positions are easily calculated.
