Abstract
To protect a vehicle against collisions, the invention proposes that a light curtain directed at an incline to the ground ahead of the vehicle illuminates the path of the vehicle, said light curtain incident on the ground in an incident line stretching transversely to the direction of travel, so that the incident line is monitored from the vehicle and, in the event of interruptions or misalignment of line ranges, the vehicle engine receives a control command. A vehicle protected in this way is equipped by a laser (12) arranged on the vehicle (1), the beam of said laser being directed at least at the exit of the vehicle at an incline to the ground, passing through a fully cylindrical lens arranged eccentrically in the laser beam (4), by a camera (8) monitoring the incident line range of the laser light (4) on the ground (9) and by an evaluation unit (10).
