12. A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor, comprising:
a program code arrangement having program code for measuring temperature information from a sensor device, by performing the following:
transmitting from the sensor device sensor information, which relates to thermal effects in the sensor device, to a receiver by time-limited electrical pulses according to a defined protocol, wherein reference data is retrieved, and wherein the reference data relates to a relationship between a pulse duration of the electrical pulses and thermal effects in the sensor device;
measuring the pulse duration at at least one of the electrical pulses; and
determining the temperature information from at least the measured pulse duration and the reference data;
wherein the sensor device is for determining a speed in a vehicle and is configured for the transmitting of the sensor information from the sensor device by the time-limited electrical pulses according to the defined protocol.
