METHOD FOR CORRECTING THE VISUAL RANGE OF A DISTANCE SENSOR THAT IS ASSEMBLED IN SUCH A WAY THAT SAID SENSOR IS OFFSET FROM THE CENTRE LINE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for correcting the visual range of a distance sensor. The distance sensor is assembled in such a way that said sensor is laterally offset in an eccentric manner and in relation to the centre line of a motor vehicle. A correction angle (a) is used for correcting the visual range. The eccentricity (y) of the distance sensor (3) is corrected by means of the correction angle when said sensor is assembled. The distance sensor (3) is thus not oriented in parallel in relation to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle but is oriented in parallel in relation to the centre line thereof. The visual range is thus advantageously illuminated in an approximately symmetrical manner in relation to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The correction angle (a) is empirically detected by means of corresponding experimental measurements or is detected in a calculated manner.
