Method and device for reducing damage caused by an accident
First Claim
1. A method for reducing damage caused by an accident after a primary accident of a vehicle,comprising the steps ofdetecting the primary accident,sensing and analyzing the ambience field of the vehicle,detecting the motional behavior of the vehicle,comparing the analyzed vehicle ambience with the motional behavior of the vehicle, wherein the trajectory and the speed of the vehicle representing the motional behavior are compared with the position and the distance of objects in the vehicle trajectory representing the vehicle ambience anddetermining an intervention into at least one member of the group consisting of brakes and steering system of the vehicle, depending on the result of the comparison.

Abstract
A method and device serves to reduce damage caused by an accident, in which a vehicle driver is unable to bring the vehicle that has had an accident into a safe position. A system intervenes in an appropriate manner into the motional behavior of the vehicle, influencing the latter in such a way that the vehicle can be brought into a safe position without the cooperation of the driver (autonomously).
