Abstract
A sensor device, including a sensor casing, inside of which one sensor or multiple sensors is/are situated, a holder for fastening the sensor casing to a traffic infrastructure, a processor being situated in the sensor casing, which is designed to detect, based on sensor data from one or multiple of the one sensor or of the multiple sensors, an impermissible application of force on the sensor casing.
Claims14
A sensor device, comprising:
- a sensor casing;
- at least one sensor situated in the sensor casing;
- a holder for fastening the sensor casing to a traffic infrastructure;
- and
- a processor, situated in the sensor casing, designed to detect, based on sensor data from at least one of the at least one sensor, an impermissible application of force on the sensor casing,
- wherein the traffic infrastructure includes a fixed or stationary object situated on a road sign, a light signal system, a bridge or a tunnel.

A sensor device, comprising:
- a sensor casing;
- at least one sensor situated in the sensor casing;
- a holder for fastening the sensor casing to a traffic infrastructure;
- a processor, situated in the sensor casing, designed to detect, based on sensor data from at least one of the at least one sensor, an impermissible application of force on the sensor casing;
- and
- a communication interface which is designed to, in the case of a detected impermissible application of force, transmit a message informing about the impermissible application of force,
- wherein at least one of the communication interface and the processor is designed, in the case of an impermissible application of force, to provide at least one of the message to be transmitted and the sensor data to be transmitted, with a time stamp.
4 more elements
A sensor device, comprising:
- a sensor casing;
- at least one sensor situated in the sensor casing;
- a holder for fastening the sensor casing to a traffic infrastructure;
- a processor, situated in the sensor casing, designed to detect, based on sensor data from at least one of the at least one sensor, an impermissible application of force on the sensor casing;
- and
- a communication interface which is designed to, in the case of a detected impermissible application of force, transmit a message informing about the impermissible application of force,
- wherein the message includes an activation instruction for a monitoring unit for monitoring the sensor device so that the monitoring unit may be activated in response to the activation instruction in order to monitor the sensor device.

A sensor device, comprising:
- a sensor casing;
- at least one sensor situated in the sensor casing;
- a holder for fastening the sensor casing to a traffic infrastructure;
- and
- a processor, situated in the sensor casing, designed to detect, based on sensor data from at least one of the at least one sensor, an impermissible application of force on the sensor casing,
- wherein the processor is designed to detect, based on the sensor data, a deviation of an actual state of the sensor casing from a setpoint state of the sensor casing, the processor being designed to detect an impermissible application of force on the sensor casing based on the detection of the deviation,
- wherein the processor is designed to define, based on the sensor data, an instantaneous actual state of the sensor casing as the setpoint state.
