  • TRACK-BOUND VEHICLE HAVING A SENSOR DEVICE
    Publication number: 20120181392
    Abstract: A track-bound vehicle has a first and a second car coupled to one another and at least one sensor device for monitoring a region between the two coupled cars. In order to allow particularly reliable monitoring of the region between the two coupled cars, the at least one sensor device is an optical sensor system having at least one optical transmitter on the side of the first car directed at the region to be monitored and at least one optical receiver on the side of the second car. The sensor is implemented for outputting a detection signal if the light path between the at least one optical transmitter and the at least one optical receiver is interrupted.
