DEVICE FOR RECOGNITION OF AN OBSTACLE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for recognition of an obstacle (7) in front of a rail vehicle (1). At least one active opto-electronic sensor is arranged on the front side of the rail vehicle (1). In order to meet requirements relating to the completion of platform line monitoring in the direct vicinity in front of and/or behind the train and also to recognise obstacles on an open stretch of line, the sensor is statically connected to the rail vehicle (1) and a static optical system for monitoring a substantially disk-shaped angle segment (4; 4.1; 4.2) is oriented in a substantially horizontal manner, the range (d) of the sensor extending to several metres.
