20230026459 · 2023-01-26 ·

A method for classifying an accident event of a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a bicycle. The method is able to run as an algorithm on a device having an evaluation unit in order to indicate to the driver of the two-wheeled vehicle or to a third party a collision or fall of the two-wheeled vehicle with the aid of correspondingly generated and/or transmitted information. The device may be used for a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle and in particular for an electric bicycle. The use is naturally also possible for a motorcycle or some other single-track vehicle.
