  • Apparatus for alignment adjusting of radar equipped in a vehicle
    Patent number: 7853374
    Abstract: In a first embodiment, an apparatus includes a vehicle turning system; a vehicle moving system; a signal transmitting system with transmitters that measure, and generate signals corresponding to, the locations of two portions of the vehicle; a signal receiving system that receives the signals; and a control system that estimates the orientation of the vehicle, and controls the vehicle moving system and vehicle turning system. In a second embodiment, the apparatus includes a vehicle turning system; a laser system including a laser emitting a laser beam, a mirror attached to the vehicle, and a target plate to receive the laser beam from the mirror; an orientation detecting system including a transceiver with sensors attached to the vehicle, that generate signals, and a reflector that reflects the signals; and a control system that determines the orientation of the vehicle, and controls the vehicle turning system based on the orientation.
