Device for detecting a running surface and vehicle using same
First Claim
1. Device for detecting a running surface for a vehicle, comprising a plurality of sensors (c1 to c8) designed to be oriented towards the running surface (4) to detect modifications thereof, means (2) for processing data obtained by the sensors, characterized in that the sensors are disposed relative to each other so as to associate at least a part of their points of aim on the ground (v1 to v8) by pairs (p1 to p4), the two points of aim of a pair being spaced apart by a first specified distance (e), and in that the transverse distances (d1 to d6) separating two adjacent pairs (p1 to p4) of points of aim on the ground (vn) increase towards a longitudinal axis (5) along a direction substantially perpendicular to that axis (5).

Abstract
A device for detecting a running surface for a vehicle, comprising a plurality of sensors (c1 to c8) designed to be oriented towards the running surface to detect modifications thereof, data processing means for processing data derived from the sensors, wherein the sensors are relatively arranged so as to associate at least part of the points of aim on the ground (v1 to v8) in pairs (p1 to p4), the two points of aim on the ground being spaced apart by a first specific distance, and the transverse distances separating two adjacent pairs (p1 to p4) of points of aim on the ground increase towards a longitudinal axis along a direction substantially perpendicular to said axis.
