Abstract
A system compensates a motion of a vehicle component relative to another vehicle component or ground. One or more sensors are supported by the vehicle component. The system includes a control unit configured to perform the following acts: receiving sensor data from the one or more sensors; detecting the motion of the vehicle component; and determining compensation data to enable a compensation of deviations in sensor data that are caused by the motion.
Claims8
A system for compensating a motion of a vehicle component relative to ground, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors supported by said vehicle component;
- a control unit operatively configured to:
- receive sensor data from said one or more sensors;
- detect said motion of said vehicle component;
- and
- determine compensation data to enable a compensation of deviations in sensor data that are caused by said motion;
- wherein said control unit is configured to use one of said sensors for determining a ground plane relative to said vehicle component;
- wherein said vehicle component comprises a cabin of a commercial vehicle, wherein said cabin is independently suspended from a chassis of said commercial vehicle, and
- wherein the control unit is further configured to determine a position or a deviation of said position of said cabin relative to ground.
A method for compensating a motion of a component of a vehicle relative to ground, wherein at least one sensor is supported by said component, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data from said at least one sensor;
- detecting said motion of said component;
- determining compensation data to enable a compensation of deviations in sensor data that are caused by the motion, and
- wherein one of said sensors is used for determining a ground plane relative to said vehicle component, wherein the vehicle component comprises a cabin of a commercial vehicle, wherein said cabin is independently suspended from a chassis of said commercial vehicle;
- and
- determining a position or a deviation of said position of said cabin relative to ground.
