Abstract: The invention relates to a device, to a vehicle, and to a method for measuring a dimension between at least two points on surfaces. The device comprises an image-generating apparatus configured to scan the surroundings of the vehicle, and a display apparatus configured to display a representation of the surroundings of the vehicle. The device also includes an input apparatus configured to define at least two points as measuring points between which a dimension is to be determined in the displayed representation, a surroundings sensor configured to sense a distance and a direction of each of the measuring points with respect to the vehicle, and an evaluation apparatus configured to determine the dimension based on the sensed distances and directions of the measuring points, wherein the evaluation apparatus is further configured to output the determined dimension.

Abstract: A process is provided for examining a loss of media of a motor vehicle. By use of a first camera arranged on a motor vehicle, a driving route in the area in front of a motor vehicle that is driving in the travel direction and is to be monitored is scanned. The route behind the motor vehicle to be monitored is scanned by way of a second camera arranged on a motor vehicle. When scanning the driving route, a forward image and a rearward image are acquired. The two images are compared for detecting a medium lost by the motor vehicle to be monitored. The corresponding medium can be classified. Appropriate actions can be automatically carried out corresponding to the classification of the medium.

Abstract: A method is provided for loading a motor vehicle using an optimized loading strategy. The optimized loading strategy is determined with the help of a computer. The method includes the following acts: acquiring characteristics of a plurality of objects to be transported, using a recording device, for example a camera and/or a scanner and/or using a reader device such as an RFID receiver; using the acquired characteristic to determine the dimensions, particularly a height, width and depth of each of the objects; establishing the optimized loading strategy for the motor vehicle as a function of the dimensions of the objects that have been determined and depending on the type of motor vehicle being loaded; and visualizing the loading strategy.
