摘要: A vehicle platform for a vehicle is provided. The platform includes a platform base extending in a longitudinal direction, and a loading system for laterally loading and unloading an upper body structure onto the platform base. The loading system includes first and second fork arms supporting the upper body structure with respect to a vertical direction, and a lifting mechanism coupled to the platform base and the first and second fork arms. The lifting mechanism moves the first and second fork arms relative to the platform base along the vertical direction. The first and second fork arms are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction and each are movable along a lateral direction between a retracted position, in which the fork arms completely overlap with the platform base, and an extended position, in which the fork arms protrude in the lateral direction from a lateral side of the platform base.

摘要: A parcel station including a housing having a front cover which is slidable along at least one side of the housing which further includes a plurality of segments, and wherein the front cover is configured so that two neighboring segments among the plurality of segments are separable from each other to form an opening in the front; and a plurality of storage plates, which are arranged one above the other in the interior space of the housing with respect to planar extensions thereof and which is movable in a direction perpendicular to the planar extensions and in the upper direction and/or the lower direction, wherein the opening extends between at least two neighboring storage plates among the plurality of storage plates and at current positions thereof.

摘要: A sensor device for measuring a motion of a vehicle includes a light source for radiating light on a region on a ground below the vehicle in temporal intervals and to produce a spot of increased temperature; a heat detection unit, which is mountable at an underside of the vehicle for detecting a position of the spot on the ground at the temporal intervals; and a control unit for receiving data about a measured time of the spot and the position of the spot from the heat detection unit and to estimate a change of the position of the spot in vehicle coordinates.

摘要: A loading system laterally loads and unloads an upper body structure onto a vehicle platform of a motor vehicle. The system includes two loading arms pivotably mounted on lengthwise ends of the vehicle platform. The loading arms jointly swivel between upward and lateral orientations with respect to the vehicle platform and jointly extend and retract. Each loading arm has an engaging portion at a distal end of the respective loading arm to engage a corresponding support portion at a respective lengthwise end of the upper body structure. The loading arms engage and release the upper body structure by swiveling into the lateral orientation and extending and retracting within the lateral orientation. The loading arms mount the engaged upper body structure on top of the vehicle platform by swiveling with the engaged upper body structure into the upward orientation and retracting with the engaged upper body structure within the upward orientation.

摘要: A mounting system is provided for mounting an upper body structure laterally onto a vehicle platform of a motor vehicle. At least one of the upper body structure and the vehicle platform are equipped with wheels to be movable laterally on the ground with regards to a longitudinal direction. The upper body structure has an engagement portion and the vehicle platform has a complementary shaped counter-engagement portion shaped to engage each other under relative lateral movement of the upper body structure and the vehicle platform towards each other thereby coupling the upper body structure and the vehicle platform to each other for joint longitudinal movement.
