CRAWLER VEHICLE FOR SKI RUNS AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING INFORMATION FOR SUCH A SNOW CRAWLER VEHICLE
A crawler vehicle for ski runs has a frame (2); a cab (6); two tracks (3); a user interface (7) located in the cab (6); a plurality of sensors (26;...;40) configured to acquire signals correlated to the operation of the crawler vehicle (1), to the weather and/or snow conditions, and to the position of the crawler vehicle (1) in relation to reference points and/or possible obstacles; a control unit (13) for processing said signals and providing additional signals; and at least one projector (41) for projecting on surfaces outside the cab (6), in particular on the ski run (44), at least one contoured beam as a function of at least one of the additional signals to provide one piece of information to the driver and/or human beings in the vicinity of the crawler vehicle (1).
