Abstract

In order to allow a vehicle rollover to be detected in timely fashion and with high reliability, acceleration sensors are provided which measure the accelerations of the vehicle in the direction of its yaw axis, its roll axis, and its pitch axis. In addition, at least one rotation rate sensor is provided which measures the angular velocity of the vehicle with respect to its roll axis and optionally also with respect to its pitch axis.
