Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enclosure alignment. An enclosure can be translated along a fixture. A signal can be detected, during the translation of the enclosure, from a signal transmitter to a signal receiver. An intensity of the signal can be determined. An audio cue can be emitted based on the intensity of the signal. The enclosure may be aligned along the fixture based on the emitted audio cue.
Claims20
A sensor enclosure alignment method comprising:
- translating a sensor enclosure along a fixture of a vehicle, wherein the sensor enclosure comprises a light detection and ranging sensor;
- detecting, by a signal receiver, during translation of the sensor enclosure, a signal transmitted from a signal transmitter associated with the sensor enclosure;
- determining an intensity of the signal based on the signal detected by the signal receiver;
- emitting an audio cue based on the intensity of the signal;
- and
- aligning the sensor enclosure along the fixture of the vehicle based on the emitted audio cue.
