  • Sensor system for capturing the environment of at least a first and a second vehicle unit pivotably coupled to one another
    Patent number: 12536809
    Abstract: A sensor system including at least a first and a second sensor unit. The sensor system is designed to at least partially capture the environment of at least a first and second vehicle unit pivotably coupled to one another. The first sensor unit is positionable on the first vehicle unit and the second sensor unit is positionable on the second vehicle unit. The first and second sensor unit capture different environmental areas. The sensor system has an electronic control unit connected to the first and second sensor unit and designed such that it jointly evaluates output data from the first and second sensor unit. The first and the second sensor unit each provide their sensor data with a synchronized item of time information. The electronic control unit is designed such that it takes into account relative positioning of the first and second sensor unit when generating an environmental model.
