ABSTRACT:
A system for measuring the characteristic attitude parameters of a vehicle, comprising at least one video camera arranged to monitor at least one image of a target rigid with at least one wheel of the vehicle, and means for processing the acquired image of the target to define the orientation of the target relative to a reference system, comprises a measurement site; a measurement unit fixed to each of the sides of said site and comprising at least one video camera orientated towards any one target fixed with any orientation to a wheel positioned on the same side; a third video camera associated with the unit fixed to one of the sides of the site and orientated towards the unit fixed on the other side of the site; any one target rigid with the unit fixed to the other side of the site and positioned within the field of vision of the third video camera; each video camera being arranged to acquire at least two images of the respective target from at least two different positions; processor means for the images acquired by the three video cameras to define the spatial position of the targets with respect to a single reference system; display means which display the data provided by said processor means.
