ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring the course and braking means of a vehicle are provided, which is freely movable and particularly inductively steered. The vehicles comprise drive means and at least one steerable driven wheel, braking means, and a sensor for scanning a guideline. The system comprises an arrangement (25, 27), in which an emergency braking operation for stopping the vehicle within an emergency stopping distance is generated in dependence on a signal which corresponds to the angle between the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the guideline, and another signal, which corresponds to the lateral departure of the longitudinal center line of the vehicle adjacent to the sensor from the guideline. The emergency stopping distance is shorter than the distance which the vehicle would travel to collide with an obstacle. Limiting values for a maximum or changing steering angle, the contour of the vehicle, the speed of travel and the braking distance under maximum load. The arrangement with its input and output terminals constitutes a self-contained module. A vehicle comprising such an arrangement is also provided.
