Abstract
The invention relates to a method for maintenance of a vehicle, comprising—determining (S2, S8) the position, in a fixed coordinate system, of at least one first part (2011, 4, 3011) of a vehicle, —characterized by determining (S3) the identity of the vehicle, —retrieving (S4, S10), by means of the vehicle identity, spatial data indicating how a second part (202, 2011, 4) of the vehicle is spatially related to the first part (201), and—determining (S8, S11) the position, in the fixed coordinate system, of the second part (202, 2011, 4) based at least partly on the first part position and the spatial data.
Claims27
A method for maintenance of a vehicle, comprising:
- determining an identity of a vehicle,
- determining a position, in a fixed coordinate system, of at least one first part of the vehicle,
- retrieving, by means of the identity, spatial data indicating how a second part of the vehicle is spatially related to the at least one first part, and
- determining a position, in the fixed coordinate system, of the second part, based at least partly on the position of the at least one first part and the spatial data;
- and
- further comprising one of:
- wherein determining the position of the at least one first part comprises determining a respective position, in the fixed coordinate system, of at least one component of the vehicle, and retrieving, by means of the vehicle identity, further spatial data indicating how the at least one first part is spatially related to the vehicle component, wherein the at least one vehicle component is included in an un-sprung sub-assembly of the vehicle, and the first part is included in a sprung sub-assembly of the vehicle;
- or
- wherein determining the position of the second part comprises providing a respective indication of the position of the second part, based at least partly on the spatial data, wherein the position of the second part is determined based on the respective position indication, wherein the first part is included in an un-sprung sub-assembly of the vehicle, and the second part is included in a sprung sub-assembly of the vehicle.
