Method for the automatic identification of a type of vehicle on a test stand

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for automatically identifying a type of vehicle or a type of tire on a test stand. Said method comprises the following steps: a) predetermined parameters characterizing the type of vehicle or type of tire are supplied; b) a test stand encompassing a plurality of sensors is provided; c) at least some areas of a vehicle or tire are sensed on the test stand; d) at least one vehicle or tire property is determined from values sensed by means of at least some of the sensors. Said method is characterized in that: e) the properties determined in step d) are compared with the predetermined parameters; f) the type of vehicle or type of tire is assigned based on the result obtained in step e), or parameters of a new type of vehicle or type of tire are defined if a type of vehicle or type of tire cannot be assigned because properties fail to match the parameters.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
