A vehicle (10) is proposed which has one or more optical sensor elements (20, 21, 22, 23) in the region of a first side, in particular its front side (11), which, in interaction with an evaluation and control electronics (30, 40) provided on board or positioned fully or partly remotely to said vehicle (10), is/are configured to warn about a collision of said driving vehicle (10) with an obstacle, to avoid the obstacle or the stop said vehicle (10) when an obstacle is being detected. To this end, at least one, several or all of the optical sensor elements (20, 21, 22, 23) has/have a field of view (50, 51, 52, 53) with a horizontal and/or vertical viewing angle range (α, α′) of less than 3 degrees. Further, a method for avoiding collision of a vehicle (10) with an obstacle is proposed.
A vehicle having one or more optical sensor elements (20, 21, 22, 23) in the region of a first side of said vehicle (10), in particular of its front side (11), which, in interaction with an evaluation and control electronics (30, 40) provided on board or positioned fully or partly remotely to said vehicle (10), is/are configured to warn about a collision of said driving vehicle (10) with an obstacle, to avoid the obstacle or the stop said vehicle (10) when detecting an obstacle, characterized in that at least one, several or all of said optical sensor elements (20, 21, 22, 23) has/have a field of view (50, 51, 52, 53) with a horizontal and/or vertical viewing angle range (a, a′) of less than 3 degrees.
A method for avoiding collision of a vehicle (10) with an obstacle, wherein one or more optical sensor elements (20, 21, 22, 23) are arranged in the region of said front side (11) of said vehicle (10) having a field of view (50, 51, 52, 53) with a horizontal and/or vertical viewing angle range (a, a′) of less than 3 degrees, and wherein it is provided for that said one optical sensor element or said more optical sensor elements (20, 21, 22, 23), in interaction with an evaluation and control electronics (30, 40) provided on board or positioned fully or partly remotely to said vehicle (10), warns/warn about a collision of said driving vehicle (10) with an obstacle, avoids/avoid the obstacle or stops/stop said vehicle (10) when an obstacle is being detected.
