Abstract: A measurement system for frames of heavy duty trucks and trailers does not require a dimensional reference database. A plurality of electronic targets are attached to selected target points on the frame. A position of the laser scanner from the selected target points is determined. Measurement data for additional targets is determined. The frame dimensions are then analyzed for defects that are greater than a pre-set tolerance. Measurements outside of a tolerance range can be flagged with contrasting color. The results of the frame analysis are shown on the user's screen, on the electronic target, and can be printed out or emailed for future inspection. The frame can be repaired while the targets and laser scanner are still deployed so that the measurement system can continue to display the status of the measurement points in real time and the success of the repairs can be confirmed.
