  • Steer guiding device
    Patent number: 4652004
    Abstract: A guide track (19) being disposed on or in the roadway is scanned by means of a scanning or sensor device (18) during the travel of a vehicle (1). The scanning or sensor device (18) is adjustable in the transverse direction of the vehicle by means of an adjustable drive (10) which is controlled by the scanning or sensor device (18) in such a manner that the transverse distance between the guide track (19) and the scanning and sensor device (18) is kept at a minimum. Thereby, the adjustment path of the scanning or sensor device (18) is a measure for the steering lock of the steering wheels (3) to be adjusted. Preferably, the adjustable drive (10) of the scanning or sensor device (18) serves as a steering drive.
