Abstract

See full text

To determine a ride height dimension of a vehicle involves determining a set of spherical co-ordinates in three-dimensional space, for two points related to the vehicle, with respect to a datum point. The vehicle manufacturer designates a reference point and a point related to the vehicle body as the two points that correspond to the ride height specified for the measured ride height dimension. Determining the actual ride height dimension of the vehicle entails computing the dimension from the measured spherical co-ordinates of the two points, for example, as a distance between the points or as a difference in vertical height of the points. Examples of equipment include sensor modules for taking measurements of the co-ordinates of the points and processors for determining the desired ride height dimension from measurements taken by a sensor module.
