Claim 15:
16. A method for calibrating an ADAS sensor of an advanced driver assistance system of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is positioned in a service area, the method comprising the following steps:
deriving an attitude parameter of the vehicle;
receiving the attitude parameter in a control unit having a processor;
comparing, through the control unit, the attitude parameter with a corresponding reference parameter representing a reference value for the attitude parameter;
aiding with positioning, through the control unit which is responsive to the step of comparing the attitude parameter with the reference parameter, of a support structure near the service area, where a calibration device is mounted on the support structure;
sending a calibration command from the control unit to an electronic control unit of the vehicle to determine an interaction between the ADAS sensor and the calibration device;
processing data received from the electronic control unit of the vehicle through the processor of the control unit in order to generate calibration data,
wherein if a deviation between the attitude parameter and the corresponding reference parameter is greater than a predetermined threshold value the control unit will recommend correcting the attitude of the vehicle, until the attitude parameter is within a predetermined range for the attitude parameter, before performing the step of aiding with the positioning of the support structure.
