Abstract

An emergency-call device for a motor vehicle has a sensor system for detecting the accelerations acting upon the vehicle and its occupants, an analyzer unit and a transmitter unit for automatically placing an emergency call. Such an emergency-call device is to be equipped with devices for estimating the type and extent of the occupants' injuries, a model of the occupants being used as a basis. The thus obtained information about injury type and extent is transmitted automatically together with the emergency call to a rescue coordination center, so that appropriate relief measures may be taken rapidly.
