AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing vehicle service systems, the equipment and calibration structures used to measure and calibrate vehicle alignment require a large number of cameras, resulting in high costs.

Method used

By employing a calibration structure and alignment measurement equipment, front and rear wheel targets are placed in front of and to the side of the vehicle, respectively. Images are captured by a camera and processed by a control unit to achieve precise positioning and calibration of the vehicle service system.

Benefits of technology

This enabled precise alignment of the vehicle service system, reduced equipment costs, and simplified the operation process.

Abstract

A method for aligning a vehicle service system (1) relative to a vehicle (2) positioned in a service area (8) is described, wherein the vehicle service system (1) comprises: a calibration structure (3) for calibrating ADAS sensors of an advanced driver assistance system of the vehicle (2); a device (4) for measuring the alignment of the vehicle (2), on which a device camera (41) is mounted; wherein the method comprises the following steps: applying a front wheel target (51) and a rear wheel target (52) on the front and rear wheels of the vehicle (2); capturing an image by means of the device camera (41), wherein the image represents the front wheel target (51) and the rear wheel target (52); processing the image to derive information useful for the positioning of the calibration structure (3) relative to the vehicle (2); placing a positioning device (7) in an operating position spaced apart from the calibration structure (3), located in front of the device (4) and located next to a first side of the vehicle (2).
