Abstract
A device and a method for determining the position of a movable transportation unit are described. The device and the method are suitable for accurately detecting the position, automatically fixing loads in position and/or loading and unloading transportation units in aircraft in a relatively quick manner. The device includes a movable transportation unit and a detection means. The transportation unit has a recess for receiving a locking unit in order to lock the transportation unit. The detection means detects when the recess in the movable transportation unit is in a position for engagement with the locking unit. The method for determining the position of a movable transportation unit includes moving the transportation unit from an initial position into a target position, providing the locking unit at the target position of the transportation unit, and locking the locking unit by the engagement thereof in the recess in the transportation unit.
