Sensor Controlled System, Vehicle and Method

A sensor controlled system includes a ramp docking sensor mountable to a vehicle's rear end and configured to fulfill the functions required for assisting docking of a vehicle to a loading ramp. The ramp docking sensor is further configured to determine a vertical distance of the ramp docking sensor relative to a ground level and to determine a vertical distance between the ground level and a loading ramp sill of the loading ramp. In this system, the ramp docking sensor can also be utilized for height-detection of a cargo hold floor with respect to a ground level without requiring specified sensors for height adjustments.
