Abstract

A device is provided for detecting relative movements in a component of a vehicle. The device includes an RFID transponder, which has a first part and a second part as well as a predetermined breaking point between the first part and the second part. The RFID transponder is attached such that relative movements and/or positional changes of this component lead to a fracture of the RFID transponder at the predetermined breaking point.

Claims (9)

1. A device for detecting relative movements in a component of a vehicle, comprising:

an RFID transponder, which is formed as a unitary structure and which has a first part and a second part as well as a predetermined breaking point between the first part and the second part,

wherein the RFID transponder is attached such that relative movements and/or positional changes of the component lead to a permanent fracture of the RFID transponder at the predetermined breaking point and to a destruction of the RFID transponder.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one RFID reader unit is provided for a function check of the respective RFID transponder.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the RFID transponder has a unique code, from which a position of the RFID transponder is able to be derived.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first part of the RFID transponder is permanently attached at least to the component to be monitored.

5. The device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first part of the RFID transponder is attached by an attachment means.

6. The device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first part of the RFID transponder is attached by the attachment means by gluing, and/or welding and/or screwing.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is a rail vehicle or a train.
