SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A VEHICLE

At least one detector (2) for visible and/or IR radiation on board of a vehicle (100) is used to determine if an entity (200) is approaching the vehicle (100). If so, sensors (4) for vibration and/or acceleration are activated. Signals from these sensors (4) are used to determine if a contact between the entity (200) and the vehicle (100) has occurred. The contact may be classified based on these signals. The at least one detector (2) may include a camera (21). At least one camera (5, 21) on board of the vehicle may be used to record image data pertaining to a time-interval about the contact. A warning may be triggered if a contact between the entity (200) and the vehicle (100) is likely.
