1. Method for the combined determination of a speed and an image recording from a moving vehicle, comprising the following steps:

  • recording an image of a region in front of the vehicle by means of a video camera and storing it in a storage medium,measuring the speed of the vehicle and storing it in a storage medium,associating the values of the speed recorded at a particular point in time with images of the stored image recordings,characterised by the following steps;

    recording satellite-aided information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation devices in the vehicle,determining the speed of the vehicle at a particular point in time from the recorded data of the GPS,determining the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle at a particular point in time by means of acceleration sensors,determining the speed of the vehicle at a particular point in time from the values of the acceleration and deceleration,determining and evaluating the deviation of the speed determination from the data of the GPS and from the values of the acceleration, andin the event that the deviation of the speed determination does not exceed a pre-determined, possibly also variable, tolerance threshold, associating this speed determination with the image recording made at the same point in time, otherwise rejecting or suitably identifying the determined values and images.
