METHOD FOR ADJUSTING OR CALIBRATING A VEHICLE SURROUNDINGS SENSOR AND A VEHICLE SURROUNDINGS SENSOR ADJUSTMENT OR CALIBRATION APPARATUS

摘要

A method for calibrating a vehicle surroundings sensor (15) includes the steps of attaching at least one target pair (20, 22) to the rear wheels (12, 14) of a motor vehicle (7); recording the target pair (20, 22) using at least one measuring unit (32, 46) and determining the vehicle axis (64) from the recording; placing a target (16, 18) in a known position relative to a vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment or calibration element (62); fastening at least one measuring unit (32, 46) by means of fastening adapters (34, 48) to a running rail (4, 6); recording the target (18) placed on the vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment and determining the angular position of the vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment or calibration element (62) relative to the vehicle axis (64); aligning the vehicle surroundings sensor adjustment or calibration element (62) relative to the vehicle axis (64); and adjusting the vehicle surroundings sensor (15) relative to the vehicle axis (64).
