A deformation of a rotating tire on a road surface is calculated the following. At first, time series data of acceleration extracted from measurement data of acceleration corresponding to one round of tire rotation is subjected to a time integration of second order to obtain displacement data so as to calculate the deformation at the tread portion. The time series data of acceleration and the displacement data in the non-contact region excluding a road surface contact region on the tire circumference at the tread portion are respectively approximated to calculate a first and a second approximation curves. The two approximation curves are subtracted respectively from the time series data of acceleration and the calculated displacement data, thereby extracting time series data of acceleration due to tire deformation and obtaining the deformation at the tread portion.

A distance measurement device and method for measuring a distance between two reference points comprising a housing, a base, and a flexible member curving therebetween. The flexible member housing end is allowed to slide in a slide track in the housing. The housing also comprises sensors that detect the position of the flexible member housing end relative to the housing. The distance measurement device measures the distance between the two reference points by engaging the first reference point with the housing and engaging the second reference point with the flexible member apex. As the distance from the housing to the flexible member apex changes, the flexible member housing end slides in the housing slide track. There is a unique correlation between the location of the flexible member housing end and the distance to flexible member apex, and thus the second reference point. Using the information gathered by the sensors and the known dimensions of the housing, the distance measurement device thus measures the distance from the first reference point to the second reference point.

According to the measuring head, the zero point and the amount of front travel settings are facilitated. Firstly, the amount of front travel is set by allowing contacts 34, 34 to abut a master 50. Then, rotating the lever 42 in a direction indicated by an arrow E, or a close position, causes the bearing member 36 to be fastened to the swinging support shaft 28. At this time, a restoring force, or a force caused by reaction, of the bearing member 36 transferred from the bearing member 36 through the arm 38, cam plate 40 and shaft 48 to the measurement lever 32 causes the measurement lever 32 to deflect by an amount that equals to the amount of front travel, and therefore from the position where the amount of front travel is set to the zero point position. This automatically sets the zero point position.
