The invention relates to a heatable touch sensor and a steering wheel. It has an optical waveguide which is connected to an electrical heat conductor. The optical waveguide changes its transmission behavior, which is determined, with a change in position or bending. The heat conductor is a resistance heater which emits heat by applying an electrical voltage and by the associated current flow. The touch sensor operates by means of optical interferometry, which enables a very high sensing accuracy.

A method for displaying in a transportation vehicle braking operations of transportation vehicles driving ahead wherein the transportation vehicles driving ahead are detected; data are collected on the acceleration of the transportation vehicles driving ahead; and, from the data on the acceleration, first transportation vehicles driving ahead with a first acceleration are determined, the first acceleration being a negative acceleration, the magnitude of which is greater than or equal to a specified threshold value. On a display area, first graphical objects are generated, each first transportation vehicle driving ahead being assigned a first graphical object which indicates that the first transportation vehicle driving ahead assigned to the first graphical object has the first acceleration. Also disclosed is a device for displaying accelerations of transportation vehicles driving ahead in a transportation vehicle.
