ULTRASONIC SENSOR ARRANGEMENT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A CENTRAL ULTRASONIC SENSOR WHICH IS ATTACHED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CENTER AND THE ULTRASONIC SENSOR EMISSION CHARACTERISTIC OF WHICH IS TILTED IN THE AZIMUTH DIRECTION

摘要

In particular, the aim of the invention is to provide a solution to how the entire region in front of or behind the motor vehicle can be detected with an uneven number of sensors even when the space on the front or rear bumper in the center or on a central longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle is already occupied by other objects. A sensor arrangement (11) for a motor vehicle (10) is provided, said arrangement having a vehicle part (15) and at least three sensors (12, 13, 14) that are arranged on the vehicle part (15) in a distributed manner in the vehicle lateral direction (x). The sensor (13) that lies between the other sensors (12, 14) is disposed at a distance from a vehicle part (15) central axis (16) that runs in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and a main detecting direction (17) of said sensor (13) is inclined in the direction towards the central axis (16). The invention further relates to a motor vehicle (10) and to a method for operating at least three sensors (12, 13, 14).
