Claim 11:
12. 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:
positioning a first pair of measuring heads on respective front wheels of the vehicle and positioning a second pair of measuring heads on respective rear wheels of the vehicle, where the measuring heads of the first pair and of the second pair of measuring heads each include an emitter and/or a receiver;
establishing a communication between a control device connected to the a control unit having a processor and the measuring heads of the first pair and second pair of measuring heads;
deriving an attitude parameter of the vehicle through the control unit using information received from the control device;
positioning a support structure, on which a calibration device is mounted, near the service area, wherein a step of the measuring heads of the first pair or of the second pair of measuring heads, positioned on the vehicle, detecting corresponding measuring heads, positioned on the support structure, and/or vice versa, is used to provide aid with positioning of 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; and
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 after said deriving the attitude parameter of the vehicle, the method comprises a step of moving the first pair of measuring heads onto the support structure, wherein the step of aiding with the positioning of the support structure includes communication between the control device and the measuring heads of the first pair of measuring heads mounted on the support structure, and the second pair of measuring heads positioned on the vehicle.
