Abstract
A procedure for calibrating a vehicle onboard sensorby facilitating the placement of a calibration fixtureon a floor relative to a stationary vehicleusing a laser emittersecured to a front steerable wheelof the vehicle on the same lateral side as the vehicle onboard sensor. A beam projection axis X of the laser projector is aligned at a known orientation relative to a geometric characteristic of the vehicle, such that the beam projection axis X is directed over a placement location P of the calibration fixture on the floor, either inherently or by guided steering of the supporting steerable wheel. A distance between the calibration fixtureand a reference point associated with the vehicleis measured, and a current position of the calibration fixture on the floor along the beam projection axis X is adjusted as required to position the calibration fixture for calibration of the vehicle sensorat a selected distance from the reference point along the beam projection axis X.
