Abstract:
1. A vehicle provided with a device comprising a central processing unit, at least one detector connected to said central processing unit, which detector comprises at least one detection surface and which is designed for detecting, in a detection direction, laser pulses or a light beam coming from external measuring apparatus which emits said laser pulses or light beam for the purpose of detecting a vehicle and/or measuring the speed of a vehicle, and at least one transmitter connected to the central processing unit, which transmitter comprises a transmission surface and which is designed for transmitting light pulses in a transmission direction that is substantially the same as said detection direction, which central processing unit is designed for causing the transmitter to transmit a series of light pulses upon detection of laser pulses or a light beam, wherein the detection surface and the transmission surface are connected to the vehicle in such a manner that the detection surface and the transmission surface are oriented substantially transversely to the driving direction of the vehicle and the centre of the transmission surface is less than 40 cm removed from the front or the rear of the vehicle.
