Abstract:
1. A method for determining the installation position of a sensor module in a vehicle, the sensor module having at least one of a longitudinal acceleration sensor for measuring a module longitudinal acceleration in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the sensor module and a transverse acceleration sensor for measuring a module transverse acceleration transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sensor module, the method comprising comparing at least one of a measured module longitudinal acceleration and a measured module transverse acceleration during vehicle travel against at least one of a calculated vehicle longitudinal acceleration and a calculated vehicle transverse acceleration; obtaining at least one degree of correspondence between (i) the at least one of the measured module longitudinal acceleration and the measured module transverse acceleration and (ii) the at least one of the calculated vehicle longitudinal acceleration and the calculated vehicle transverse acceleration based on the comparing; and determining an installation position of the sensor module based on the at least one degree of correspondence.
