Abstract:
1. A passenger car transport, comprising: an adjustable loading ramp for loading and unloading passenger cars, the loading ramp being positionable in at least a travel position for when the passenger car transport is traveling; a display device; an electronic monitoring system including at least one monitoring sensor operable to sense whether the loading ramp is in the travel position, at least one of the at least one monitoring sensor being an inductive proximity switch sensor disposed on an upper loading level of at least two loading levels of the passenger car transport, the electronic monitoring system further including monitoring electronics operable to evaluate signals transmitted by the at least one monitoring sensor and to transmit to the display device a corresponding information item indicative of whether the loading ramp is in the travel position or not in the travel position, wherein the monitoring system is operable to automatically brake the passenger car transport when the monitoring electronics detect that the loading ramp is not in the travel position; and at least one wheel speed sensor connected to the electronic monitoring system to sense a velocity of the passenger car transport, wherein the monitoring electronics are adapted to generate a warning when the velocity is indicative of a driving state.
