Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013117694A2] Methods for inspecting the cargo space (1) of a truck are known in which the truck is moved past an X-ray source that is switched on while the cargo space (1) is being moved past the source and is switched off while the driver's cab (3) is being moved past the source. According to the invention, the truck is irradiated with electromagnetic radiation having a frequency between 1 GHz and 1 THz and the electromagnetic radiation passing through or reflected at the transition (3) between the driver's cab (2) and the cargo space (1) is measured, in order to determine the switch-on time for the X-ray source.
