Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006045327A1] The invention relates to a device (30), in particular for a motor vehicle (200), which is used to determine the position and/or the contour of a defining section (101a, 102a), in particular a flank, of at least one obstacle (101, 102). The inventive device comprises at least one emitting device (32) which is arranged, preferably, in a lateral area of the motor vehicle (20) and which is used to emit an emitting signal, at least one capturing device (34) which is arranged, preferably, in a lateral area of the motor vehicle (20) and which is used to capture a reflection signal. Said reflection signal represents the emitting signal after reflection thereof onto an obstacle (101, 102). The inventive device further comprises an evaluation device (38) which is used to evaluate the reflection signal in relation to the position and/or the contour of the defining section (101a, 102a) of the obstacle (101, 102). The invention is characterised in that the direction of the main emittance of the emitting device (32) can be modified, in particular on a flat plane in an approximately parallel manner in relation to the surface of the carriageway.
