Abstract:
1. An application control unit for a mobile application unit for marking substance for producing ground markings, comprising: a radiation sensor mountable on the mobile application unit, the radiation sensor being configured for receiving an electromagnetic reference signal expanded in the form of a fan, the radiation sensor being formed so that the position of the mobile application unit relative to a reference plane defined by the reference signal is derived on the basis of the received reference signal, wherein the radiation sensor is a laser detector and has a two-dimensional arrangement of laser sensors; and means for determining the orientation of the mobile application unit relative to the reference plane, wherein the two dimensional arrangement of laser sensors detect the electromagnetic reference signal in the form of a mapped reference signal sensed by the two-dimensional arrangement of laser sensors where the orientation of the mobile application unit as a tilt transversely to the direction of travel is determined from an inclination of the detected mapped reference signal;
