Abstract
A method for generating a signal representing an impact intensity including the steps: receiving at least three signals, which represent respectively accelerations in different spatial directions; calculating a direction-independent variable from the three signals; ascertaining an integrated measurand of the direction-independent variable over a time window; generating a signal representing an impact intensity on the basis of the ascertained integrated measurand.
