Title:
車輪姿勢角測定装置及び車輪姿勢角測定方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4523818
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A wheel alignment angle measuring apparatus according to the present invention computes variation energy sums E A " and E B " and a reference wheel referencing alignment angle (a toe angle T BR ) based on an anteroposterior force variation rate d Fx and a lateral force variation rate d Fy generated in a reference wheel (RL). Furthermore, the alignment angle measuring apparatus computes a non-reference wheel referencing alignment angle (a toe angle T NBR ) of a non-reference wheel (FL), and then computes a toe angle T NBA to be specified for the non-reference wheel, based on the toe angle T NBR and a difference between a toe angle T BR and the toe angle T I . According to the thus configured wheel alignment angle measuring apparatus, it is possible to determine a value of an alignment angle that allows characteristics of lateral forces generated in front and rear wheels to be approximated to each other, when the alignment angles of wheels are adjusted based on the characteristics of the lateral forces generated in the wheels.
