1. A method for supplying a collision signal pertaining to a vehicle collision which has occurred, comprising:
- generating, by at least one crashed vehicle, a collision signal representing (i) at least one characteristic of a collision involving the at least one crashed vehicle and (ii) position data of the collision, using sensor data of the at least one crashed vehicle pertaining to the vehicle collision which has occurred;
outputting, by the at least one crashed vehicle, the collision signal via an interface to a central collision data administration device;
reading in the collision signal at the central collision data administration device; and
storing a server-stored collision data set which is made available to selected vehicles, based on the read-in collision signal.
