Abstract
The invention relates to a system for the detection of objects located in an external front-end zone of a vehicle, which is suitable for industrial vehicles. The inventive system comprises the following elements which operate in combination with one another, namely: a first detection sub-system which can detect moving objects or objects with a limited maximum height that are located in a first surveillance area of an external front-end zone; and a second different detection sub-system which can detect objects in a second surveillance area of said external front-end zone and acquire information relating to the volume of said objects. Each of the sub-systems comprises at least one detection device, an electronic system for processing and analyzing input signals from the detection device and means for transmitting output signals.
