Abstract: A method described and device to rapidly detect the accident-related removal of a mobile user terminal from a holder and to generate corresponding information which characterizes the fall or crash related to the accident. Rotation-rate sensor variables and acceleration variables of the mobile user terminal are acquired. A rotation or twisting of the mobile user terminal is detected in that the currently acquired and/or integrated rotation-rate sensor variables are compared to past values and/or threshold values. A movement of the mobile user terminal is detected on the basis of the currently acquired and/or integrated acceleration variables. A comparison with past values and/or threshold values may optionally also be carried out. The determination of an in particular accident-related crash of the vehicle and/or the fall of the mobile user terminal out of the holder then takes place due to the detected rotation and the detected movement.

Abstract: A method for checking the plausibility of accident situations involving a two-wheeled vehicle, a device for carrying out this method, and a two-wheeled vehicle comprising a device of this kind. In the method, it is checked, i.e., reviewed, whether it is plausible to output the accident information, in order to avoid unnecessary or even incorrect calls for help.

Abstract: A method for classifying an accident event of a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a bicycle. The method can be run in the form of an algorithm in a device comprising an analysis unit in order to indicate to the rider or a third party that the two-wheeled vehicle has been involved in a collision or has fallen over using a corresponding generated and/or transmitted item of information. The device can be used in a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a bicycle or in particular in an electric bicycle. However, it can of course also be used in a motorcycle or another single-track vehicle.
