Abstract
A sensor system for a vehicle for detecting bridges and tunnels is described, which includes a lateral LIDAR sensor, which is located on a first side of the vehicle and has a detection area covering a lateral surrounding area of the vehicle, and a control unit for evaluating the measuring data from the lateral LIDAR sensor. The lateral LIDAR sensor is positioned rotated about a vertical axis so that part of the detection area of the lateral LIDAR sensor at the front in the travel direction detects an upper spatial area located at a predefined distance ahead of the vehicle. The lateral LIDAR sensor is tilted about its transverse axis with respect to the horizontal, so the detection area of the lateral LIDAR sensor detects the remote upper spatial area at a predefined height above the vehicle using its part which is at the front in the direction of travel.
