Technical Examples

A method for distance measuring using at least two contact-less distance sensors, e.g., ultrasound sensors, is provided, which distance sensors each have one emitter for emitting measuring pulses (MI) and one receptor for receiving measuring pulse echos (ME). The distance from an obstacle that reflects the measuring pulse (MI) is determined from the time difference between the measuring pulse (MI) and the received measuring pulse echo (ME). A first measurement is performed, which involves alternatingly emitting by the at least two distance sensors the measuring pulses (MI) offset in time by a first offset, and subsequently receiving the measuring pulse echos (ME) by the distance sensors. In addition, a verification measurement is performed, which involves alternatingly emitting by the at least two distance sensors the measuring pulses (MI) offset in time by a second offset, which is different from the first offset in time used in the first measurement.
