METHOD FOR MONITORING AN ENVIRONMENT OF A SET COMPRISING A TRACTION VEHICLE AND A TRAILER PULLED BY THE TRACTION VEHICLE AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR THE TRACTION VEHICLE AND TRACTION VEHICLE COMPRISING SAID CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for monitoring an environment (17) of a team (10) comprising a towing vehicle (11) and a trailer (12), with a sensor device (18) on the towing vehicle (11) for detecting an adjacent to the team ( 10) extending side area (16) of the environment (17) is provided and the sensor device (18) is held on a vehicle part (34) of the towing vehicle (11) by means of a holding device (31) and a detection area (26) of the sensor device (18) in the side area (16) is aligned. The invention provides that the sensor device (18) can be pivoted with respect to the vehicle part (34) by means of the holding device (31) and a control device (38) receives at least one operating signal (41) from the team (10) and as a function of the at least one Operating signal (41) determines an articulation angle (13) between the towing vehicle (11) and the trailer (12) and sets a pivot position (θ) of the sensor device (18) by actuating the holding device (31) in order to align the detection area (26). to adapt to the articulation angle (13).
