Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a system for determining a position and orientation of a swap body in relation to a vehicle while aligning the vehicle under the swap body. The system has three distance sensors which can be placed on the vehicle oriented in the longitudinal direction thereof, each of which is configured to determine a longitudinal distance between the vehicle and predetermined measurement points on the swap body, and output a corresponding signal. The system has a signal processing device that is configured to determine a relative position and/or relative orientation of the swap body to the vehicle based on the signals output by the three distance sensors, and output a corresponding output signal.
