摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining identifying characteristics (210) of an accident participant (200) in the event of an accident involving the accident participant (200) and a motor vehicle (100). The method comprises the following steps: Determining (10) a time of the accident (310), wherein the determination of the time of the accident (310) occurs with the aid of a contact sensor (110) on the motor vehicle (100). The contact sensor (110) is configured to detect external contact with the motor vehicle (100). Recording (20) the surroundings (120) of the motor vehicle (100) from the determined time of the accident (310) as accident data (320), wherein the recording (20) of the surroundings (120) is carried out on the basis of images from a visual imaging device (130, 400). Determining (30) the accident participant (200) on the basis of the recorded accident data (320). And determining (40) an identifying characteristic (210) of the accident participant (200) on the basis of the detected accident participant (200) and the recorded accident data (320). The invention further relates to a corresponding device (600) and to a corresponding motor vehicle (100).
