VEHICLE WHEEL ALIGNMENT METHODS AND SYSTEMS

A wheel alignment system includes a side-to-side reference including an active reference pod and a passive reference pod disposed on opposite sides of the vehicle. The active reference pod includes areference image sensor fixedly attached to a reference target, for mounting on a first side of the vehicle such that the reference image sensor produces image data including a perspective representation of the passive reference pod disposed on a second/opposite side of the vehicle. In operation, alignment cameras on the opposite sides of the vehicle capture perspective representations of targets mounted to vehicle wheels and of targets of the active and passive reference pods. A computer processes the image data to compute an alignment measurement of the vehicle based on a spatial relationshipbetween the active reference pod and the passive reference pod determined according to the image data produced by the reference image sensor. 一种轮定位系统，包括侧到侧参照基准，侧到侧参照基准包括布置在车辆的相反两侧的主动参照舱和被动参照舱。主动参照舱包括固定地附接于参照靶标的参照图像传感器，主动参照舱安装
