发明名称 Vehicle wheel alignment method and system based on gyroscopic sensors or angular rate sensors or MEMS angular rate sensors
摘要 The invention relates to a method and system for determining vehicle wheel alignment, and namely camber angles, total and individual toe and front wheel steering axis caster and steering wheel axle tilt angle, by measuring changes in wheel sensor angles from a predetermined (i.e. control) position. Changes are measured using gyroscopic sensors or angular rate sensors or MEMS angular rate sensors (MEMS gyroscopes).

主权项 1. A method for determining a vehicle's wheel alignment, comprising: placing at least two angular sensors on sensors' mounting sites located on a reference plane (with a known mutual orientation of sensors' mounting sites), each angular sensor measuring an angle change in at least two of three, X, Y and Z, orthogonal coordinate axes; recording values of at least two (in X,Y or X, Z or Y,Z) reference angles of each sensor, the at least two reference angles showing a relative position of each sensor to a known common plane of the reference plane; based on the relative position of the sensors to the known common plane, calculating relative angles between the sensors in at least two orthogonal coordinate axes (in X,Y or X, Z or Y,Z); removing the sensors from the reference plane, the reference plane being disconnected from the vehicle, and placing the sensors on the wheels of the vehicle, wherein one sensor is located on each measured wheel; and based on the sensors' measured angles change, calculating a relative angular position of the sensors, thus determining the vehicle's wheel alignment.
