Abstract
A method for inspecting a vehicle on a site with a management system, including determining whether at least one vehicle on the site intends to make a departure from a stoppage place, generating a control command by the management system, and transmitting the control command to the inspection vehicle such that the inspection vehicle moves along an inspection path to the stoppage place. The method further includes detecting an environment around the inspection vehicle at the stoppage place by the sensor system while a detection zone of the at least one sensor is oriented at least in some regions at a subregion beneath the vehicle and/or at the vehicle. The method further includes determining, in dependence on the sensor signals generated by the sensor system, whether there is an impediment by which the departure of the vehicle is impeded, in order to carry out a pre-departure check.
