Radar sensor alignment

摘要

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for aligning a radar sensor included in a vehicle. One method includes generating a laser cross-beam in front of the radar sensor that is approximately perpendicular to a thrust line of the vehicle and mounting a sensor alignment apparatus on the radar sensor. The sensor alignment apparatus includes a mounting arm and a receiver flag. The mounting arm supports the receiver flag, and the receiver flag includes a first surface that intersects the cross-beam at a first point and a second surface opposite the first surface that intersects the cross-beam at a second point. The method further includes determining a position of the first point, determining a position of the second point, determining a difference between the position of the first point and the position of the second point, and determining an adjustment for the radar sensor based on the difference.

1. A sensor alignment apparatus comprising:
a mounting arm configured to be mounted on a radar sensor included in a vehicle, and a receiver flag supported by the mounting arm and positioned in front of the radar sensor, the receiver flag including a first surface for receiving a first laser beam at a first point and a second surface opposite the first surface for receiving a second laser beam at a second point, wherein the first laser beam and the second laser beam are approximately perpendicular to a thrust line of the vehicle and a difference between a position of the first point and a position of the second point indicates an adjustment for the radar sensor to align the radar sensor with the thrust line.
