Setting up longitudinal acceleration sensor for motor vehicle brake balancing - measuring parameters with vehicle facing up and down a slope and deriving null point correction from both values

摘要

The method of compensating a longitudinal acceleration sensor for motor vehicles involves storing a rfirst measurement parameter measured on a vehicle (1) support surface (2) with an inclination angle (2) in an electronic controller (5). With the vehicle facing the opposite way on the same support surface at the same inclination angle, a second measurement value is taken and can also be stored. The controller derives a null point error from these two measurement values. The null point error is used as a correction value for sensor (6) adjustment. USE/ADVANTAGE - For setting up the brakes on lorries and trailers. The method enables simple null point setting even on inclined surfaces.
