Abstract

A device for recognizing a pole crash, situated in a vehicle. The pole crash is determined on the basis of an impact velocity, which is recognized by an environment sensor, and an acceleration, which occurs in upon impact and is recognized by an impact sensor. In particular, the time between the impact and the impact object hitting the engine block is determined to identify a pole crash.
