A cargo securing system for securing cargo in a cargo area of a vehicle from sliding in the cargo area includes a plate member configured to be positioned on a floor of the cargo area. In the control device an additional warning function is implemented, which calculates, with the aid of the dynamic state of the vehicle and with the aid of the detected guardrail course, a parameter for the transverse dynamics of the vehicle, which is required to avert a collision with the guardrail, and which outputs a warning signal when this parameter is larger than a predefined value. The encoder is actively connected to the sealing arrangement. The linear polymers can be synthesized by ring-opening polymerization.
