SENSOR ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR EASY INSTALLATION INTO A VEHICLE

摘要

A method for installing a sensor arrangement into a vehicle having a vehicle chassis, wherein the vehicle chassis is in a defined position during the installation, and the sensor arrangement is attached directly or indirectly to the vehicle chassis, wherein the sensor arrangement includes one or more acceleration sensors with three linearly independent measuring directions, and the sensor arrangement has an electronic control unit which is configured in such a way that it includes a sensor calibration mode, wherein, after the attachment of the sensor arrangement, the at least one acceleration sensor senses the gravitational acceleration, after which the electronic control unit in the sensor calibration mode calculates and stores one or more relative positioning parameters from at least the detected direction of the gravitational acceleration (g), which positioning parameters include at least information about the relative positioning between the sensor arrangement and the vehicle chassis.
