Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an apparatus which comprises a first portable apparatus (1), which is fastened to any type of vehicle, and a second portable apparatus (12) which is provided with fastening means for fastening a mobile telephone (23) intended to send emergency signals to a remote centre. The first apparatus (1) communicates with the second apparatus (2) and the latter communicates with the mobile telephone (23) from which the emergency calls are sent. The apparatus detects an accident when there is a communication breakdown between the first and second apparatuses. The apparatus establishes a waiting time during which an emergency call is not sent so that the user can cancel erroneous detection of accidents. In addition, signals indicating the accident detection are generated so that a user can perform the cancellation during the waiting time.
