Benefits of technology

This technology allows users to easily attach multiple types of equipment onto their car's wheelchair without having them constantly moving around during measurements. It uses special sensors that detect changes over time when they are shaking due to gravity forces from driving. By processing these signals with software algorithms, this system helps calculate precise data about how well the car moves along its route.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes methods that use advanced sensors like Laser Profilometer or Accelerometers to determine if there are cracks along roads during construction work hours. However, these techniques have limitations such as being time-consuming and requiring expensive equipment. Therefore, current systems require manual adjustments by engineers who may take longer than needed due to their limited ability to handle complicated situations where they face challenges from different perspectives.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] In order to clearly illustrate the solutions in the present invention, preferred embodiments are given below and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] see figure 1 , the method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0029] Step 1: During the curve measurement process, the roll angle γ of the vehicle body tilt is obtained through the attitude determination and positioning device of the measurement vehicle.

[0030] When the measuring vehicle carrying the attitude positioning device and the laser distance measuring device is driving on a curved road section, the lateral acceleration will make the chassis plane of the testing vehicle and the horizontal plane form a roll angle (γ). The roll angle can be measured through the gyroscope in the attitude determination and positioning device, and a horizontal benchmark distance measurement reference plane can be obtained through angle correction, see figure 2...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for measuring vertical section of a road surface to obtain a rolling angle between a vehicle body and the horizontal surface measured by a posture locator and to obtain distance measured by a laser distance measurer. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining the centrifugal acceleration of a vehicle body measured by a posture locator; obtaining the transverse gradient of the road surface according to the rolling angle, centrifugal acceleration of the vehicle body and the horizontal acceleration of the vehicle body; obtaining the distance between the road surface and the vehicle body according to the transverse gradient, the distance measured by the laser distance measurer and the rolling angle between the vehicle body and the horizontal surface; and obtaining the vertical section curve of the road surface through the distance measured by the laser measurer. The invention has simple measuring process through a distance signal of the laser measurer and an angel signal of the posture locator with little computation workload, draws the vertical section curve accurately, eliminates the measuring error, solves the problems that the high gradient of road surface curve can not be dynamically and rapidly measured and the rapidly-detected data of the road surface curve are inaccurate caused thereby, and provides accurate reference for road maintenance in later period.
