Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0740123A1] The system includes three optical elements (8,9,10) mounted on the vehicle (2) in order to generate light flashes (7). Two of these elements are mounted in diametrically opposed positions (8,9) w.r.t the axis of the vehicle (L), whilst the third (10) is arranged to be perpendicular to these two elements. An optical detector (3) is mounted at the origin of the line along which the mobile vehicle (2) is travelling, with a lens (14) and detector array (13). The output of the detector is linked to a computer (4) which is able to determine the position and angle of roller (phi) of the vehicle (2) w.r.t. the axis (X), by analysis of the positions of the received light flashes.
