wherein the real-time monitoring device comprises an image formation device attached to the door structure.
2. The vehicle door of claim 1 ,
wherein the image formation device comprises at least video formation capabilities, wherein the real-time representation is a video.
3. The vehicle door of claim 2 ,
wherein the image formation device further comprises still image formation capabilities, wherein the real-time representation is switchable between the video and a still image.
4. The vehicle door of claim 1 ,
wherein a fixation member is provided that rigidly attaches the image formation device to a door structure of the vehicle door.
5. The vehicle door of claim 1 ,
wherein a control panel is provided for controlling operation of the image formation device.
6. The vehicle door of claim 5 ,
wherein the control panel comprises a display screen for displaying the real-time representation.
7. The vehicle door of claim 1 ,
wherein the image formation device comprises a backlight device.
8. The vehicle door of claim 7 ,
wherein the associated vehicle is an aircraft, wherein the vehicle door defines a cabin access door of the aircraft.
9. An aircraft with a plurality of aircraft doors, each aircraft door being a vehicle door as in claim 1 and comprising at least one lock lever that is provided for engaging a counterpart in an engaged state for locking a respective aircraft door relative to the aircraft, wherein a real-time monitoring device is provided for generating a real-time representation of the at least one lock lever and the counterpart, the real-time representation being suitable for determining whether the at least one lock lever is in the engaged state.
10. The aircraft of claim 9 ,
wherein the respective aircraft door is a cabin access door.
11. The aircraft of claim 9 ,
wherein the real-time monitoring device comprises an image formation device that comprises at least video formation capabilities, wherein the real-time representation is a video.
12. The aircraft of claim 11 ,
wherein the image formation device further comprises still image formation capabilities, wherein the real-time representation is switchable between the video and a still image.
13. The aircraft of claim 9 ,
wherein at least one display screen is provided for displaying the real-time representation.
14. The aircraft of claim 13 ,
wherein the at least one display screen is provided at the respective aircraft door, in vicinity of the respective aircraft door and/or on an aircraft flight deck of the aircraft.
15. The vehicle door of claim 1 , wherein the real-time representation of the at least one lock lever and the counterpart comprise a real-time visualization of the at least one lock lever and a real-time visualization of the counterpart.
16. The vehicle door of claim 1 , wherein the image formation device comprises a camera focused on the at least one lock lever and the counterpart.
17. A vehicle door comprising:
a door structure;
at least one lock lever moveably mounted to the door structure;
a counterpart mounted to the door structure and engageable with the at least one lock lever in an engaged state for locking the vehicle door of an associated vehicle, and
a real-time monitoring device for generating a real-time representation of the at least one lock lever and the counterpart, the real-time representation being suitable for determining whether the at least one lock lever is in the engaged state;
wherein the image formation device comprises at least video formation capabilities, wherein the real-time representation is a video.
18. The vehicle door of claim 17 ,
wherein the image formation device further comprises still image formation capabilities, wherein the real-time representation is switchable between the video and a still image.
19. A vehicle door comprising:
a door structure;
a lock lever moveably mounted to the door structure;
a counterpart mounted to the door structure and engageable with the lock lever in an engaged state for locking the vehicle door of an associated vehicle, and
a real-time monitoring device comprising an image formation device attached to the door structure, the image formation device being configured to generate a real-time representation of the lock lever and the counterpart, the real-time representation being a real-time visualization of the lock lever and a real-time visualization of the counterpart to show whether the lock lever is in the engaged state with the counterpart.
20. The vehicle door of claim 19 ,
wherein the image formation device comprises a miniature camera mounted on the door structure, the miniature camera having video formation capabilities and still image formation capabilities, wherein the real-time representation is a video or a still image of the at least one lock lever and the counterpart, wherein the real-time representation is switchable between the video and the still image.
