Abstract:
1. A method for measuring a damaged vehicle, in which a measuring device is calibrated and an inclination of the vehicle is measured in longitudinal and lateral directions, the measured inclination of the vehicle is used as a datum plane, with a measuring sensor of the measuring device are measured distances of measuring points of the damaged vehicle and the measured data are compared to registered reference values of the measuring points, and with an inclination sensor of the measuring device is measured inclination of the measuring device, after calibration first measuring head of the measuring device is directed and set on a measurement target, starting point, chosen from an undamaged area of the vehicle, second measuring head is directed and set on a second measurement target, end point, chosen from an area desired to measure, with the measurement device are simultaneously measured the distance of the measurement points and the inclination of the damaged vehicle, with at least one inclination sensor is measured the inclinations in the directions of two axis at the minimum by measuring the inclinations of at least two axis in the length direction of a profile of the measurement device, whereby the first axis shows the inclination used for calculating the height in the vertical direction and the second axis shows the inclination used for calculating height in the lateral direction in relation to the profile, measuring the damaged vehicle in different directions and points, measured dimensions are transferred to central processing unit, and height difference of the measurement points is calculated from the values of the starting point, the distance between the measuring points and the inclination.
