Abstract: A method for positioning an impact detection device on a fork of a vehicle supporting a wheel of the vehicle, in which the fork has a right-hand rod-shaped member and a left-hand rod-shaped member is described. The impact detection device has at least one first sensor unit associated with the right-hand rod-shaped member and a second sensor unit associated with the left-hand rod-shaped member. The second sensor unit is mounted inverted or rotated by an angle of 180 degrees around a steering axis of the wheel.

Abstract: An apparatus for the personal protection is described. The apparatus has at least one main control unit which is connected to one or more main sensors and to a first main transceiver for transmitting and receiving on a first radio channel control signals and/or activation signals, wherein the main control unit is also connected to a second main transceiver for transmitting and receiving on a second radio channel control signals and/or activation signals. Vehicles and a system which comprise the apparatus are also described. The vehicles and the system also include a secondary apparatus and a protective garment which can communicate with the apparatus. A process which can be carried out by the system is also described.

Abstract: An apparatus for personal protection is described. The apparatus has a secondary control unit which is connected to at least one firing controller and to at least one first secondary transceiver for transmitting and receiving on a first radio channel control signals and/or activation signals, wherein the secondary control unit is connected to a smart-card reader for reading an identification code stored in a smart-card and transmitting this identification code from the secondary transceiver in a control signal. A protective garment and a system which includes the apparatus, a main apparatus and vehicles which can communicate with the apparatus, as well as a process which can be carried out by this system are also described.

Abstract: A method for positioning an impact detection device on a rod-shaped member of a fork of a vehicle supporting a wheel of the vehicle is described. The detection device has at least one group of three accelerometers arranged on three axes orthogonal to each other and mounted on at least one printed circuit board, the at least one printed circuit board being arranged in a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the right-shaped member of the fork.
