Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011051222A1] The invention relates to a method (300) for detecting a safety-critical impact of an object on a vehicle (100). The method (300) has a first step of obtaining (310) a starting signal for starting a time measurement in order to determine the beginning of a subsequent specified time span (240). Furthermore, the method (300) has a step of receiving (320) a signal that represents a yaw acceleration of the vehicle (100), wherein the signal is received during the specified time span (240). Finally, the method (300) has a step of detecting (330) the safety-critical impact of the object on the vehicle (100) if the signal has a value within the specified time span (240) or a value derived from the signal after the specified time span (240), said value lying outside of a threshold value range (210, 220).
