Abstract
A triggering algorithm contains an accident classification section. The accident classification section senses the type of an accident that occurs. The accident classification section forms probability values for the types of accident in question when an accident cannot be classified unambiguously. By reference to the type of accident or the probabilities that are determined, weighting factors are formed and are taken into account in the calculation of the criterion and/or of one or more comparison thresholds. The triggering algorithm is modular and can thus be easily standardized on a module-specific basis.
