The figures show a transport capsule according to the invention 1 .

The transport capsule 1 is used to hold passengers and / or luggage / goods, and can be used to secure them within the transport capsule 1 Have seat belts and / or airbags (not shown in the figures).

The transport capsule 1 can be hermetically sealed to the environment.

The transport capsule 1 is via a detachable connection device 2nd with a chassis 3rd connected.

There is also the possibility that the transport capsule 1 via two or more connecting devices 2nd with the chassis 3rd is connected (not shown in the figures).

There is also the possibility that two or more transport capsules 1 via respective connecting devices 2nd with a chassis 3rd are connected (not shown in the figures).

The chassis 3rd assumes all tasks and safety requirements for driving on land.

The transport capsule 1 has a device 4th to increase air resistance.

The device 4th at least one brake parachute can be used to increase the air resistance 4.1 and / or at least one wing 4.2 that can be transferred from a non-use position into a use position.

The transport capsule 1 also has at least one gas cushion 5 that can be transferred from a non-use position into a use position.

The gas cushion extends in the use position 5 over an area 6 the outside 7 the transport capsule 1 .

The area 6 is selected in such a way that the environment sensors are not impaired in their functioning.

The gas pillow 5 includes at least one check valve 8th .

The chassis 3rd has a first environment sensor system (not shown) and / or vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

The first environment sensor system can be located in the front area (based on a forward driving direction) of the chassis 3rd be arranged.

The transport capsule 1 has a second environment sensor system (not shown) and / or communication with other objects.

The chassis 3rd includes a tilt device 9 .

Using the tilt device 9 can tilt the shipping capsule 1 opposite the chassis 3rd can be set.

During a trip, the inclination can be set depending on the driving speed and / or the time of day, for example.

The chassis 3rd has a lifting device 10th for the transport capsule 1 on.

The transport capsule is in a driving mode 1 by means of the releasable connecting device 2nd with the chassis 3rd connected.

The first environment sensor system and / or the vehicle-to-vehicle communication can detect / detect a safety-relevant state, for example an impending collision.

• Bei einer geringen Geschwindigkeit des Fahrgestells 3, beispielsweise geringer 15 km/h, werden die im Fahrgestell 3 integrierten Möglichkeiten zur Vermeidung bzw. zur Abmilderung einer Kollision herangezogen.

The following scenario can be initiated in the event of an impending collision:

• At a slow speed of the chassis 3rd , for example less than 15 km / h, are in the chassis 3rd integrated options for avoiding or mitigating a collision.

At a higher speed, for example greater than 15 km / h, the transport capsule 1 by means of the inclination device 9 in a first defined position (see 4th ) transferred.

By means of the lifting device 10th becomes the transport capsule 1 from the first defined position to a second defined position (see 5 ) transferred.

With the transport capsule in the second defined position 1 becomes the device 4th transferred from the non-use position to the use position to increase the air resistance.

For transferring the brake parachute 4.1 from the non-use position to the use position, this unfolds from an opening 11 the transport capsule 1 and is erected by the wind.

The deployed brake screen 4.1 reduces the speed of the chassis 3rd and thus contributes to improved collision protection.

To transfer the wings 4.2 From the non-use position to the use position, they unfold on the outside 7 the transport capsule 1 .

The wings 4.2 can be erected by the driving wind and / or kinematics. The spatial positioning of the wings 4.2 takes place such that the speed of the chassis 3rd is reduced.

The transport capsule is located 1 in the second defined position, at least one gas cushion 5 be transferred from a non-use position into a use position.

The gas pillow 5 can be filled by means of the head wind and / or another gas and thus transferred to the use position.

The check valve 8th can escape the gas from the gas cushion 5 prevent.

The transport capsule is located 1 in the second defined position, this can be from the chassis 3rd by means of the releasable connecting device 2nd be separated.

After detection of an inevitable condition (ie a collision of the chassis 3rd with an object can no longer be avoided) becomes the transport capsule 1 by means of the lifting device 10th transferred to the second defined position (ie raised), at least one device is subsequently arranged 4th transferred from the non-use position to the use position to increase the air resistance, after which the transport capsule can follow 1 by releasing the connection device 2nd from the chassis 3rd be separated.

After the separation of the transport capsule 1 from the chassis 3rd the second environment sensor system can be activated.

The spatial orientation and / or the number of devices can be determined by means of the second environment sensor system 4th to increase the air resistance can be chosen such that a collision with an obstacle / object in the vicinity of the transport capsule 1 prevented or the consequences of a collision reduced.

For this purpose, the volume of the gas inside the gas cushion (s) can also be used 5 be adjusted.

To define the first and second position, the wind conditions and the detected obstacles in the area can be used as criteria.

After a separation of the transport capsule 1 from the chassis 3rd can change direction by changing the gas volume of the gas cushion 5 through a targeted opening of the check valve (s) 8 and / or inclined position of the device 4th to increase air resistance.
