  "textContent": "The invention relates to a sensor controlled system for a vehicle and a method, in particular to a sensor controlled system and method for assisting ramp approach. It is the object of the invention to eliminate the disadvantages of the current load ramp approach systems and to provide a system, a vehicle and a method that facilitates loading ramp approaches and loading/unloading procedures. Disclosed is a sensor controlled system, comprising: 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, wherein 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.",
