Abstract
An emergency localization device for initiating an emergency measure, wherein the emergency localization device comprises a control unit, at least one acceleration sensor and at least one position sensor, the control unit being configured to receive a plurality of motion and/or position parameters from the acceleration sensor and/or from the position sensor, and by evaluating the plurality of motion or position parameters to determine a risk level for an emergency using a predefined logic, and to initiate an emergency measure if the calculated risk level exceeds a predefined threshold. The emergency localization device is reliable, robust and largely independent of aircraft-mounted systems.
