摘要

The vehicle i.e. lorry (2), has a control device (12) for monitoring a surrounding area (10) of vehicle and comprising a sensor (7) that is arranged in a corner region (8) formed by a front side (5) and a long side (6) of the vehicle. The sensor is arranged such that the surrounding area of the vehicle is detectable, where the surrounding area extends in sections along the long side, runs over entire length (S) of the long side and runs in sections in a region (9) before the front side. A warning apparatus provides optical and/or acoustic warning to a vehicle operator. The sensor is designed as a radar detector, laser scanner or a camera.
