Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining a position and/or orientation of a movable load. The invention also relates to a position and orientation determining system for a group which comprises a towing vehicle and at least one load which can be moved by the towing vehicle.
Claims15
A method for determining at least one of a position and orientation of a movable load, wherein the load is connected to a towing vehicle, wherein a position and an orientation of the towing vehicle can be determined, and wherein a relative position of the load, which the load assumes with respect to the towing vehicle, can be detected by means of a sensor system, with at least one of the position and the orientation of the load being determined from the position of the towing vehicle and the relative position of the load.
A position and orientation determining system for a group, which comprises a towing vehicle and at least one load which can be moved by the towing vehicle, with the position and orientation determining system comprising a position-finding system, by means of which a position and an orientation of the towing vehicle can be determined, wherein the position and orientation determining system comprises a sensor system by means of which a relative position of the load, which the load assumes with respect to the towing vehicle, can be determined from the towing vehicle, and in that the position and orientation determining system comprises a computation unit, by means of which a position of the load, and in particular an orientation of the load, can be determined.
